Two teenage siblings find themselves desperate for answers when a mysterious relic reveals its age-old secrets and power.

Tim and Martie Carson are the only ones who can save their family from a downward spiral fueled by their parent's struggles with PTSD and depression. When they realize that an ancient relic discovered under mysterious circumstances holds the key to unlocking answers hidden in the past, the siblings embark on a race against time to learn the relic's secrets while avoiding the Trackers, sinister shadowy figures doomed to haunt history and drawn to possess the relic for their own evil purposes.

Travel through history with the Carson family as they struggle to understand the relic's secrets. In their race against time can they decipher the clues and piece together the puzzle containing the answers they desperately seek? Or will they be trapped forever by the evil forces relentlessly pursuing them?

About the Author
Clark Rich Burbidge was born and raised in the mountain valleys of the Rockies. He earned an MBA from the University of Southern California and a BS from the University of Utah. His finance career includes life as an investment banker and Chief Financial Officer, and his involvement in community and church service spans four decades. Clark and his sweetheart, Leah, live near Salt Lake City, Utah, where they enjoy outdoor activities such as mountain and road biking and sharing their lives with their blended family of ten children and eleven grandchildren. He and his wife enjoy traveling and such things as cycling and scuba diving, but when life and faith are enjoyed so completely there is no need to travel to find that which is already present.
