Guardians of the Four Shields (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781629554105)

An ancient shield. A deadly secret. And a race to stop a weapon too dangerous to control.

For over a year, Jules Sibeko has tried to leave his old life behind. He's cut ties with the Lost Origins Recovery Institute, moved into a new apartment, and joined the NYPD, hoping to build a stable, "normal" life.

But normal isn't easy for someone like Jules.

When his old team reaches out for help protecting a legendary shield once carried by a giant warrior, Jules can't say no - no matter how much he wants to stay out of the game.

What Jules doesn't know is that this shield is part of a powerful set, long guarded by an ancient order and now hunted by a hostile nation. It's not just a relic - it could unleash unimaginable destruction.

Joined by an eccentric professor who believes ancient legends hold the key to the future and a mysterious New Zealand intelligence officer with his own secrets, Jules is thrown back into a world where ancient mysteries collide with modern-day threats.

As their quest takes them from the Americas to New Zealand and on to Asia, Jules and his team must race against time to stop the shield from falling into the wrong hands - before its true, terrifying power is unleashed.

Guardians of the Four Shields is the fourth 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.
