Iraq war veteran Harper Jennings is back with another thriller! This time, Zina Salim, her staunchest rival at Cornell's archeology department, turns up on Harper's doorstep late one night, babbling about a Pre-Columbian shape-shifter. Harper doesn't know what to think, but she agrees to accompany Zina to the lonely mansion where she sighted the shape-shifter while cataloging a collection of Pre-Columbian artifacts.
When Harper arrives at the mansion, Harper finds more than fascinating artifacts: Zina is dead. Suddenly, Harper's life turns upside down. Her post-traumatic stress disorder returns with terrifying intensity. Her husband, who seemed to be recovering from his life-threatening fall from the roof, becomes withdrawn and depressed. Members of her old army team start to die suspiciously.
The closer Harper gets to the relics, the more danger she faces. Harper knows there are no shape-shifters, and that the relics can't really be cursed. Can they?
