The tomb of China's First Emperor, guarded by an underground army of terra cotta warriors, has remained sealed for more than 2,000 years. It is regarded as one of the greatest archaeological sites in the world, yet the Chinese government will not allow anyone to open it. Why?

Malone's life is shattered when he receives an anonymous note carrying an unfamiliar Web address. Logging on, he sees Cassiopeia Vitt, a woman who's saved his life more than once, being tortured at the hands of a mysterious man who has one demand: Bring me the artifact she's asked you to keep safe. The only problem is, Malone doesn't have a clue what the man is talking about, since Cassiopeia has left nothing with him. So begins Malone's most harrowing adventure to date - one that offers up astounding historical revelations, pits him against a ruthless ancient brotherhood, and sends him from Denmark to Belgium to Vietnam and then on to China, a vast and mysterious land where danger lurks at every turn.
