To the world, Lady Laura Toft is the glamorous face of global preservation-a billionaire philanthropist dedicated to "returning history to its rightful owners." But beneath the mud-stained khakis and the noble speeches lies the world's most sophisticated shadow broker.
Laura doesn't find history; she liquidates it.
Partnering with high-altitude cartels and laundering blood-soaked antiquities through her own charitable foundations, she has turned archaeology into a high-stakes heist. When a legendary artifact of unimaginable value surfaces in the Amazon, Laura isn't looking to save it-she's looking for the highest bidder. But as the body count rises and the line between her two lives begins to blur, Laura discovers that some secrets are buried for a reason, and even the most calculated gamble can turn fatal.
In the ruins of the old world, she isn't a hero. She's the ultimate predator.
