Legends don't stay buriedElisa Hill hunts myths for a living - ancient legends, forgotten civilizations, artifacts the rest of the world swears don't exist. It's more than a job.

If it's real, it doesn't just prove her parents right - it rewrites everything the world thinks it knows about human history.She's not the only one who wants it.Lucas Davalos - mercenary, thief, and the closest thing Elisa has to a rival who might also be something more - has been hired by a secretive organization known only as the Order to find the gateway first, whatever the cost. And a third hunter has entered the game: Seth, a silver-haired killer who doesn't care about the money or the mystery, only the thrill of putting a blade through anyone who gets in his way.The chase runs from Caribbean shorelines to the ancient temples of India, through double-crosses, uneasy alliances, and secrets buried far deeper than Lemuria itself. Elisa will need every blade, every trick, and every ally she can find - because the continent didn't just vanish. Something made it disappear.

Even immortals have unfinished businessFor millennia, four Dragon Kings have ruled the seas from the shadows of legend, their power feared even by gods. Now one of their ancient prisoners has broken free — and he wants payback. Myth hunter Elisa Hill barely has time to catch her breath after Lemuria before a cryptic call pulls her and her mentor, Max, into the neon sprawl of Hong Kong. The job: help her kitsune ally Asami investigate a demigod causing chaos across the city. That demigod turns out to be Sun Wukong — the Monkey King himself, freed from centuries of imprisonment and hunting for the powers stripped from him by the Dragon Kings.Wukong isn't alone. Nezha, the immortal warrior-god, has thrown in with his old friend, and together they're determined to settle a score that predates recorded history. But the Dragon Kings aren't the toothless legends Elisa expected. As she and her allies are dragged deeper into a war between immortals, she'll uncover secrets about the Jade Emperor's court, the true reason the Dragon Kings turned on one of their own, and a threat that could unravel the fragile balance between the mortal world and the divine.With bullets flying as often as spells, and betrayals lurking behind every ally's smile, Elisa must decide how far she's willing to go to survive a conflict she never asked to join — one where the wrong move could make her the next name added to a very long list of casualties.Fast-paced, myth-soaked, and packed with martial arts, ancient magic, and razor-sharp banter, Percival Constantine plunges readers back into the world of The Myth Hunter series with higher stakes, bigger gods, and a body count to match.

Some relics should stay lostElisa Hill isn't just an ex-professor with a knack for dead languages. She's a myth hunter — a woman who chases down the legends the rest of the world dismisses as folklore, because she knows better than anyone that the monsters are real. When the Freemasons come calling with a job tied to her own bloodline, she can't turn it down. Her grandfather once vanished into the Himalayas and came back with a story no one believed: that the Nazis' occult inner circle, the Thule Society, had gotten their hands on the Spear of Destiny — the very weapon said to have pierced Christ's side on the cross, and the key to unstoppable power for whoever wields it.The spear disappeared in 1946. Now, stolen journals have surfaced, and a shadowy order of fanatics is closing in on the truth Elisa's grandfather spent his life burying.With her kitsune partner, Asami — equal parts loyal friend and lethal shapeshifter — and a Freemason handler who knows more than he's telling, Elisa is dragged into a war that never really ended. From hidden bunkers under American monuments to the frozen tunnels where her grandfather once bled, she'll have to outrun assassins, occultists, and something far older and hungrier than either — all while confronting the possibility that the artifact her family died to hide might already be corrupting everyone who gets close to it, herself included.Some legends are better left buried. And with the Spear of Destiny back in play, Elisa Hill may be the only thing standing between mankind and a power that has never once been used for good.Spear of Destiny is a fast-paced pulp adventure of Nazi occultism, ancient relics, and one woman's fight to keep history's deadliest secret buried — for good.

A team of highly skilled assassins is on the job as well, and they'll eliminate anyone who gets in their way!
