The Blood Line

The blood line of St. Augustine is the key to ultimate power... Sam McCarthy holds one half of a pair of ancient relics with the power to control the world, and all he really wants right now is a drink... The Bruard empire, in possession of the other relic and sworn enemies to Sam's team, will stop at nothing to complete the set and take the artifacts' power. Even if they have to trash all of Tunisia to do it... The Bruard may be one step ahead of Sam in finding the final key to unlock the power--the actual blood of St. Augustine--hidden in an underground vault in the ancient city of Dougga. Sam, Waleed, Basile, and Shafira have a chance to beat the Bruard to the vault in the ancient city, but first they have to outrun a mercenary who's out for Waleed's blood, outlast the harsh Tunisian desert, and outgun the Tunisian military. The authorities don't care who started it, but they're surely going to finish it. But Pin and Pae Bruard aren't about to give up their chance at ultimate power. Sam will have to face his greatest enemy for possession of a single vial of blood that will activate the power of the artifacts. Only one will walk away from this explosive showdown. Can the beaten down, exhausted team overcome the ruthless Bruard, or will the dictators seize the tools to control the mind of every person on Earth?
