By the mid-Thirteenth Century, the Khan's armies were drifting back to Mongolia laden with the riches of Asia and Eastern Europe. A grand homecoming, a time of celebration, but something else had returned with them uninvited, something that would take root in the hills of Western Mongolia and fester. In 1939, when archeologist Patrick Michael Sullivan disappeared into those same hills, the world took little notice. Fragments of letters, small damaged relics, and clusters of death left in his wake were the only clues. What had he found that was worth so much blood? Patrick himself had vanished, swept aside by the Mongolian winds. Eight decades later, Patrick's great-grandson, Jack Sullivan picks up the gauntlet and attempts to solve those mysteries. Following in Patrick's footsteps is a decision that puts him squarely in the crosshairs of unforeseen enemies. Challenged by a spiraling inner conflict and an unlikely romance, Jack latches onto a scientific expedition that wants no part of him. As the scope of the quest mounts, he learns that what he's seeking is just the tip of the spear.
