author: Fox, Addison
description: MILLENNIA AGO, THE GODDESS OF JUSTICE CREATED A RACE OF FIERCE WARRIORS, EACH IMBUED WITH A SPECIAL POWER OF THE ZODIAC AND CHARGED WITH PROTECTING HUMANITY FROM THE DARKEST OF EVILS.
  
  Charming, proud, and impulsive, Leo Warrior Brody Talbot is fighting what may be his final battle. Enyo, the Goddess of War, plans to fulfill an ancient prophecy to destroy humanity by harnessing the dark power of the Summoning Stones of Egypt -- and there's only one person who knows enough about the stones to help Brody diminish their strength.
  
  Since her father's murder, museum curator Ava Harrison has continued his research of Egypt's ancient treasures. She's just landed the exhibit of the century: displaying the Summoning Stones at New York's American Museum of Natural History. Used to working alone, Ava is suspicious of the arrogant archaeologist who's been brought in to ensure the stones' safekeeping, but his presence ignites an unexpected blaze of attraction.
  
  Never in all his centuries has Brody met a woman who enthralls him as Ava does. But, bound to protect her, he struggles to deny his passion as they are drawn into a dark and dangerous final reckoning between good and evil.
