The ultimate duo - Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase - return in their ninth action-packed adventure. Secrets from the past emerge to threaten archaeologist Nina Wilde and her husband, former SAS soldier Eddie Chase, when a Viking runestone is stolen by a murderous gang of raiders. The stone holds the key to an ancient evil concealed in one of Norse mythology's holiest places: Valhalla. Travelling to Sweden, Eddie and Nina find themselves in a race against time to locate the legendary hall of the Viking warriors - before rival powers claim its deadly contents for themselves.

What's the connection between a dig in Alexandria for Alexander the Great's tomb and a wanted Nazi war criminal? Nina and Eddie are about to find out as they go on a search across the globe, from Egypt to Argentina and Italy to Iran, to find the truth. They have located the most exciting archaeological treasures the world has ever known - they have found Atlantis and walked in the Garden of Eden, they have wielded Excalibur and seen the vast sums of gold in El Dorado. Could they now be about to find the greatest prize of all - the secret to eternal life?

En civilisation, der er gået til grunde: Den sagnomspundne ø Atlantis har spøgt i arkæologers hoveder i mange hundrede år. Platon var den, der beskrev, hvordan øen for omkring 9.000 år f.v.t. sank i havet efter et voldsomt vulkanudbrud, og lige siden har man forsøgt at finde den. En hårrejsende jagt: Nina Wilde mener at vide, hvor øen befinder sig, og den norske milliardær Kristian Frost tilbyder at finansiere en ekspedition for at finde den. Sammen med Frosts datter, Kari, og den tidligere SAS-soldat Eddie Chase drager Nina af sted. Jagten er begyndt.

"En mytologisk kriger": Studier af en ældgammel tekst har overbevist arkæolog Nina Wilde om, at en grav, der indeholder resterne af den legendariske kriger Herkules, kan eksistere. Hvis hun kan finde den, vil det være det vigtigste historiske fund, der nogensinde er gjort. "En fantastisk skat": Da Nina og hendes tidligere bodyguard Eddie Chase indleder deres søgen, står det hurtigt klart for dem, at andre også ønsker at finde graven - og de utrolige rigdomme, den indeholder.
