Description

'Shots rang out across the cathedral. Sporadic. Cries suddenly ahead. Death stalked the cathedrals as the monks slaughtered the few remaining survivors... All for a sack of bones. Why Why steal the bones of the Magi'

When a group of parishioners is burned to death in a German cathedral, the US sends in Sigma Force. For this tragedy is more than a case of arson - someone has stolen the priceless treasure stored in the cathedral's golden reliquary: the bones of the biblical Three Kings.

Commander Gray Pierce leads a team on the hunt for the Royal Dragon Court, a clandestine aristocratic fraternity of alchemists that dates back to the Middle Ages and seeks to establish a new world order using the mystical bones. Pierce and his team follow a trail that leads through the remnants of the seven wonders of the ancient world to a mystical place where science and religion unite to unleash a threat not seen since the beginning of time itself...
