The Dragon’s Mark by Alex Archer

In Alex Archer’s The Dragon’s Mark, archaeologist Annja Creed and her sword have never been outmatched– until now. When a surprise party for her mentor Roux includes some uninvited guests, Annja finds herself fighting desperately for her life. The intruders escape but leave a sinister message behind.

A legend has resurfaced about a sword that should be feared. A sword that seeks a master as bloodthirsty as itself. It is wielded by an assassin known as the Dragon who initiates a terrible game of cat and mouse. Eventually, the two swords–light and dark–must meet…and only one shall triumph.

Joe Nassise is the author of more than a dozen novels, including the internationally bestselling Templar Chronicles series, , the forthcoming Jeremiah Hunt trilogy, and several books in the Rogue Angel action/adventure series from Gold Eagle/Harlequin.
