The Arkana Series
College freshman Cassie Forsythe wakes from a disturbing nightmare after seeing her sister being murdered by a man in a cowboy hat who demands something called "the key". Her dream morphs into frightening reality when her sister is found dead, exactly as her vision foretold.
Cassie's life takes an even more bizarre turn once she learns that her dead sister, an antique dealer, has discovered the location of a cache of priceless Minoan artifacts. A secret society called the Arkana and a fanatical religious cult known as the Blessed Nephilim are each determined to claim the prize.
Caught squarely between these rival factions is Cassie herself after she stumbles across the only known map to the treasure. The girl allies herself with the Arkana in hopes of staying alive. With Nephilim assassins on her trail, that's easier said than done.
Volume 5 - Into the Jaws of the Lion
Into 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.

Apparently designed for the teen and young adult readership it is remarkably enjoyable for older readers, too, fresh and quirky, with so much information on places and ideas as well as myths and !legends along the way. Bryan Stansbury is the perfect narrator, with great timing, good modulation an individual voicing for the characters. His is a pleasant, mid tonal goal delivery that is pleasant and far from boring.
Overall, a most enjoyable (and recommended) read - but best started with volume one.
