CRYSTAL SKULL, THE by Manda Scott - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
In a spellbinding blend of history, myth, and science, bestselling
novelist Manda Scott unleashes a thriller that sweeps from the secrets
of the Mayans to the court of a sixteenth-century queen to a shattering
end-times prophecy.
It’s a lump of rock, Stella; nothing more. No stone is worth dying for.”
Except
it’s not just a lump of rock. It’s a blue crystal skull made by the
Maya to save the world from ruin; a sapphire so perfect, so powerful
that for centuries men have killed to own or destroy it.
Ancient
prophecies say that if the thirteen skulls already in existence are not
reunited, the world will end on December 21, 2012. Cedric Owen, the
skull’s last Keeper, died so that it might keep its secret for the next
four centuries. Now Stella Cody has found it, and someone has already
tried to kill her. Like Owen, she’s being hunted—but by whom?
Desperate
to unravel the mystery of the crystal skull, Stella must decode Cedric
Owen’s coded writings, sketches and ciphers no scholar has been able to
unravel. What she discovers is astounding: a shocking secret
prophecy…and the staggering puzzle of four terrifying creatures,
thirteen precious stones, and what will happen if Cedric Owen’s crystal
skull falls into the wrong hands. But time is against Stella. She has
only days—hours—left to uncover the only secret that may yet save the
world.
