"Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you. Because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl - There is an empire among men that exists only in the mists of illusion, a Gray Empire where what is true cannot be distinguished from what is not. This is the story of a great treasure that is hidden in the gray mist of that place, and of the lust that drives men to want to possess it. Do you believe in magic? Neither does Monica Scott. After all, she's a scientist, an archaeologist, a skeptic. She has no time for fairytales of magic, or boogiemen, or religious mumbo-jumbo. On the other hand, Rick Townsend has some experience with both. He's been up close and personal with some of those fairytales, and with a particular boogieman whom he would just as soon leave behind. Even so, he has a passion for restoring the past, for seeking out lost treasures and bringing them to light. His passion leaves him little time for other interests. King Arthur Jones, (Arthur to his friends), is a master chef who has traded his kitchen for a life of adventure. In a superstitious way he believes in the power of magic, but he prefers the power of gold. When these three individuals come together at Green Turtle Cay, in the Bahamas, all of their lives will be changed by the mystery of a centuries old curse and the bootleg-power of a lost treasure that men have fought and died over for more than two thousand years.
