Synopsis

Gold. Immortality. A love worth killing for.

What looks like a small-town robbery at a California Gold Rush museum sends Officer Paige Gold down an unexpected trail—one leading to stolen gold dust, a shocking conspiracy, and a 2,000-year-old Chinese emperor's quest for immortality.

Strange visions. An unseen presence. And a chilling sense that she's not alone.

Paige soon realizes the truth is more personal—and more dangerous—than she ever imagined. Someone is willing to kill to possess the ancient elixir hidden within the gold...and silence anyone who gets in their way. Including her.

With enemies closing in and time running out, Paige must uncover the secret before it disappears again—because the past isn't just haunting her.

It's hunting her.

Stolen gold. Ancient secrets. Biotech greed. One woman's fight for the truth.

The Emperor's Curse blends Chinese history and legend, forbidden science, and international mystery in a modern thriller about humanity's oldest obsession: the quest to cheat death.
