A dead professor. A gold pendant. A mysterious poem. As Carly Stuart starts college, the search for a murderer-and the Holy Grail itself-is on.

The only thing Carly Stuart wants to do is fill her late grandmother''s shoes. Following in the footsteps of her Gran, a trailblazer archaeologist who paved the way for women in the field, Carly enters Nassauton College as a freshman studying archaeology, with her journal, satchel, and an entire closet full of Gran''s shoes in tow.Carly''s ambitions get off to a promising start when she uncovers an ancient artifact and a note left to her by Gran, putting Carly on a quest for the Holy Grail itself. Armed with her quick wits and new friends-including Dr. Kells, her archaeology professor, and Blane, her cute-but-nerdy boyfriend-Carly finds herself thrust into a mystery of international scale and historical significance that even Indiana Jones would be excited to pursue. But with a dead professor, and criminals anticipating her next moves, will Carly and her partners have the courage to see their Grail quest through?

A Nazi journal. A miraculous medicine. A visionary scientist. As Carly Stuart searches for the Holy Grail, she discovers a cutting-edge research laboratory where sickening secrets-and astounding answers-abound.

Despite the danger Carly Stuart faced at the end of her first semester at Nassauton, she, Blane, and her professors plow ahead with their Grail quest. With new artifacts in their possession and questions about Grealia Eternae, Carly and her team set out in search of answers. 

Their journey leads them to GE Pharmaceuticals and its ambitious CEO, who dreams of developing a drug to cure cancer and offer immorality. As the Fearless Foursome digs deeper, Carly learns the lab will stop at nothing to obtain the source of the drug''s key ingredient-the Holy Grail itself. Carly must stay one step ahead of her enemies, because if she doesn''t, and they get the Grail, there will be catastrophic consequences for the world. 

But with evil lurking around every corner and self-doubt eroding her convictions, will Carly find the faith and fortitude to persevere?
