Secret of the Reaper Seal

A treasure lost in the chaos of war. A secret hidden for millennia. And a race to unearth the truth before it’s too late.

Amid the looting of the Baghdad Museum during the invasion of Iraq, a priceless collection of Sumerian seals vanished – seals that may hold the key to ancient power long hidden from the world.

Now, years later, the seals have resurfaced in the tiny, secretive nation of Striovia. But when Toby Smith, the director of the Lost Origins Recovery Institute, is accused of espionage while negotiating their return, he’s imprisoned and cut off from the world.

Time is running out to save him – and the seals.

Desperate, the Lost Origins team turns to the only person reckless enough to help free Toby: archaeologist Jules Sibeko.

Together, they embark on a pulse-pounding race across the globe, from the frozen tundra of Eurasia to the ancient ruins of North America. Their goal: unravel the secret knowledge hidden by generations of Sumerians – before Toby’s captors do, and unleash powers that could reshape the world.

Secret of the Reaper Seal is the second book in the Lost Origins series – each book unearthing a new chapter in humanity’s forgotten past. It’s perfect for fans of Clive Cussler’s globe-trotting adventures, James Rollins’ high-stakes mysteries, and Ernest Dempsey’s pulse-pounding archaeological thrillers.

Note: this novel was previously published by KindlePress under the title “The Reaper Seal” by author name “Antony Davies”. The three first books in the Lost Origins series have been republished under new titles and a new author pen name and contain minor editorial tweaks from the original texts. Original titles were The Reaper Seal and The Eagle Plague.
