Synopsis
Maria, a young scientist and explorer, lands her dream job at the Global Treasure Association (GTA) as part of an international team that investigates mysterious sites—places with intriguing histories and unusually strong magnetic fields scattered across the globe. She has no idea she was not chosen at random: the GTA has discovered her greatest secret.
Maria can not only sense the magnetic fields at the sites she visits, but she can also see events that occurred there in the past and even manipulate magnetic energy. Meanwhile, investigative journalist Andrew Bale uncovers a surprising lead suggesting that the GTA is cooperating with one of the world’s largest weapons manufacturers. They appear to be developing a new weapon powered by magnetic fields, and Maria is central to their project.
Her life is about to be turned upside down. Andrew is determined to publish his findings, but the GTA will do everything in its power to stop him. Andrew and Maria, two strangers, become entangled in a dangerous expedition that takes them around the world and plunges them into a life-and-death race against the GTA.
