Anise Viston has been wearing the amulet from the armor jewelry set for protection ever since saving it from the clutches of the nefarious criminal Grace Brevain three years ago. Completely unaware of the rich history the armor jewelry has had in ancient Mesopotamia, and more recently with Grace and Dr. Morty Smithton, Anise believes her adventures with the amulet, ring, and earrings are over. However, when her boyfriend, Jonathan Casley, comes down with mysterious symptoms, she traces the cause back to the armor jewelry and a vicious plot hatched by Dr. Smithton, Jonathan's mentor. Enlisting the help of her friend and former suitor Nate Brevain, Anise makes it her mission to help Jonathan. Together, Anise and Nate uncover the full history of the armor jewelry and Anise's astonishing personal connection to it. When they discover that Smithton is holding an ancient secret that could completely destroy their whole world, Anise knows she must stop him from carrying out his plan before it's too late.
