Rebecca Voss. THE LANCE OF MALTA

When journalist Rebecca Voss arrives at Malta's ancient Dingli Cliffs to investigate a fisherman's disappearance, she doesn't know she's walking toward her destiny. The limestone precipice holds more than secrets — it holds the truth of who she is.

Fifteen years ago, something happened here. Something her family made her forget. But the dead remember.
And they've been waiting. Mrs. Azzopardi, the pious church teacher, has worn a thousand faces across three centuries.
She's fed on innocence since the Knights of Malta walked these streets. And now she wants Sofia—Rebecca's teenage daughter, raised as her niece to hide an illegitimate birth.

When Rebecca dies trying to stop her, the truth explodes across the boundary between life and death: some bloodlines are too sacred to end. Some weapons have been waiting two thousand years to be reunited with the blood they were meant to serve. Beneath Malta's catacombs lies the Holy Lance—the spear that pierced Christ's side at Calvary. It is covered in His blood. And Rebecca Voss carries that same blood in her veins. She is a direct descendant of Mary of Nazareth, the Mother of God. So is her daughter Sofia.

Blood calls to blood across two millennia.

The Lance recognizes them. It has been waiting for them. And when Rebecca returns from death—transformed, consecrated, armed with divine power—she and Sofia become what the world has forgotten: living proof that faith is real, that evil can be destroyed, that the sacred bloodline endures. Mother and daughter. The Lance and the lineage. Together, they will hunt the ancient darkness that preys on innocence. And they will bring light back to a world that has forgotten how to believe.
