As Vanessa and Sean grow closer, the killer prepares to resume the slaughter . . . unless the dead can intervene. “Graham stands at the top of the romantic suspense category.” —Publishers Weekly

When a mysterious medallion is unearthed during an archaeological dig in Ireland, the new discovery sets an ancient and evil plan in motion bringing together six strangers in a race against time, a race against discovery, a race against extinction. The mystery and intrigue continue to escalate as each comes closer to knowing the truth about the fabled Golden Valley and whether or not leprechauns do really exist. With the evil and ruthless billionaire, Martin Gaft hot on the trail of discovery, the family that was sworn to protect the ancient secret of Ireland's precious Golden Valley must strive to continue hiding the truth. Even if it means sacrificing their lives to do it.
