Résumé

During the untold millennia before patriarchy was conceived, the world was a very different place. Nothing concealed stays buried forever. THE ARKANA SERIESThe forgotten past refuses to stay buried in an artifact hunt spanning continents, centuries, and lost civilizations. The prize is a cache of myth-busting relics that could rewrite history or end it completely. When a secret society squares off against a ruthless fundamentalist cult, only one faction can win.
More importantly, only one will survive. Volume 5 - Into the Jaws of the LionINTO THE JAWS OF THE LION finds the Arkana agents on a new adventure in India where they search for a jewel-encrusted figurine that holds a clue to an even more priceless artifact. Beating the Nephilim to the prize is the least of their worries. Back in the States, the cult's leader has evolved a plan to release a deadly plague on an unsuspecting world just as his henchman zeroes in on the whereabouts of his child bride.
Every effort to throw the hunter off the girl's trail only draws him nearer to his prey. A rift among the members of the Arkana crew threatens to destroy the relic quest altogether. Held captive on a frigid mountaintop in the Himalayas, they are forced to summon all their resources not merely to complete their mission but simply to survive the night. If you thought you knew where this saga was headed, be prepared for a shocking twist when the Arkana team wanders blindly into the lion's jaws.

Biographie de N. S. Wikarski

Nancy Wikarski is a fugitive from academia. After earning her Ph. D. from the University of Chicago, she worked in corporate America for two decades before becoming a historical mystery author. Her books highlight unknown aspects of women's history and contain elements of magical realism. In her Arkana series, she foregrounds the latest archaeological discoveries about prepatriarchal cultures around the planet and weaves these facts into fictional artifact hunts.
Her Gilded Age Chicago books depict the real issues of first-wave feminism while following the fictional adventures of two amateur sleuths. Both her series have been award-nominated and have ranked on Amazon's bestseller lists. The author is a member of ALLi, Mystery Writers of America, the Society of Midland Authors, and has served as vice president of Sisters in Crime-Twin Cities and on the programming board of the Chicago chapter.
Her short stories have appeared in Futures Magazine and DIME Anthology, while her book reviews and essays have been featured in Murder: Past Tense, Deadly Pleasures, and Mystery Readers Journal. She is currently writing an Arkana spinoff series called The Trove Chronicles that will continue to feature discoveries about global prepatriarchal cultures. More mysteries from the casebook of Gilded Age detectives Evangeline LeClair and Freddie Simpson are also in the works.
