The Key to the Lock

Dnierf Lem, a young bookstore clerk, finds a book that's not supposed to exist. In it are clues that pull him into a mysterious scavenger hunt with big prizes and big trouble, the end of which is unknown. But is it just someone rich playing an elaborate game? It seems so, but Dnierf isn't so sure. Curiosity, and the lure of money and adventure, drives him forward from his mundane life, even after his life is put at risk.
He'll find there's much more to this than a game, with travel to exotic lands and mystical, even occult, spiritual experiences - if he can keep ahead of those trying to kill him and his new companions along the way.
