Marah Chase
Once a rising star in the field of archaeology, Marah Chase is now a black-market treasure hunter, her services available to the highest bidder. But when sheâs caught ârescuingâ relics in Syria before theyâre destroyed by war, an MI6 officer named Joanna Mason approaches her with an offer she canât refuse: help save the world or rot in prison. All Chase has to do is find Alexander the Greatâs lost tomb, recover an ancient weapon of mass destruction he may have used to conquer the earth, and destroy it before the bad guys can get it. Among those adversaries is a powerful church that believes in a forgotten epoch of advanced alien technology, the white supremacist thugs in its employ, and the rival archaeologist who recently left Chase for dead. Chase canât resist a challengeâor the British spy recruiting her. Thereâs just one problem. If Chase has any hope of unearthing Alexanderâs tomb before the forces hot on her heels do, sheâll need the help of the one person sheâs been afraid to see since her fall from grace: Zoe Forrester, the heir to a hidden journal that holds the keyâand Chaseâs ex-girlfriend. A contemporary homage to the best adventure stories of literature, television, and film, Marah Chase and the Conquerorâs Tomb is an action-packed, globe-trotting quest, perfect for anyone whoâs ever thought Indy really ought to be Jewish, female, and gay.
