Wounded in France during the Great War, Mark Blaine returns to Boston in 1919 to recuperate and prepare to re-enter Harvard College. An urgent plea for help from a beautiful woman proves far more attractive than studying history, so Mark agrees to return to France to learn the fate of the woman’s brother, a fellow soldier. Mark quickly discovers that not everyone in the Old World wants the past brought to light.

Army veteran Mark Blaine returns to Harvard College in the fall of 1919, only to find his colleagues in turmoil. A controversial outsider has been named head of the history department, and he seems bent on alienating everyone from professors to students. As the situation deteriorates, Mark seems to be the only one capable of unraveling the dark secrets that underlie the resulting tragedies—even at the risk of his own life.

Photographer Conner Barrett discovers that one of the artifacts he photographed at the Anasazi ruins at Mesa Verde projects a mysterious halo. He brings his finding to the attention of a young anthropology professor. She recognizes the artifact is a seemingly impossible match to others found across continents and across centuries. As they set out on a quest to find these others, they quickly realize they are not the only ones on the trail — and the others are out for blood. A dangerous race around the globe follows as they seek to determine the sources of and to understand the unusual powers of the mysterious artifacts.
