THE RELIC A Scare at Bedtime Series Some treasures should remain buried. World-renowned Irish archaeologist Johnny O'Shea has built his career on discoveries that others deemed impossible. When a mysterious benefactor offers him information about a lost Inca village containing a legendary golden relic, an idol of Supay, the god of death. Johnny sees the opportunity of a lifetime. The discovery that will cement his name in history forever. But the warnings are everywhere. Ancient texts speak of a curse. The locals refuse to approach the site. His guide begs him to turn back. Even his own research reveals centuries of horrific deaths connected to the idol. Johnny dismisses it all as superstition. He's wrong. The moment he removes the golden relic from its sacred altar, Johnny unleashes something ancient and terrible. His team begins dying in impossible ways, bodies found twisted, frozen, aged to dust. The curse follows him home to Dublin, and soon his family becomes its target. His seven-year-old son dies screaming, his blood turned black as oil. His teenage daughter ages decades in hours, her body decaying while she's still alive. His wife is bent and broken into a grotesque human knot. Now Johnny understands the truth: the idol isn't just cursed, it's a prison for Supay himself. Every soul the god consumes is trapped inside, conscious and suffering for eternity. And Johnny's family is trapped there now, screaming in endless darkness. There's only one way to free them: return the relic and perform an ancient ritual that requires the ultimate sacrifice. Johnny must willingly surrender his soul to take their place, condemning himself to eternal torment so they can finally know peace. But can a man paralyzed by guilt face an eternity of suffering without fear? Can love truly conquer the terror of infinite damnation? As Johnny races back to Peru with death following close behind, he discovers that some prices are too terrible to pay... and some are worth paying anyway. "A relentless descent into supernatural dread that will make you check the shadows before you sleep. The Relic delivers horror that's both viscerally terrifying and emotionally devastating." "Think Indiana Jones meets The Ring. Once you pick up The Relic, the curse won't let you go until the final, haunting page."
