Nothing is as it seems when grad student Angeline Lisbon and archaeologist Jake Lalonde join forces with Interpol agent Thomas Chancellor to investigate the disappearance of a museum curator from the quiet tourist village of Avebury. A woman vanishes. Her face appears in one of the standing stones. And is replaced by the head of a raven. Are the answers hidden in the legends of the ancient stone circle? Or is there a more logical answer to the mystery? From the moment the prim and proper British curator of the Alexander Keiller Museum disappears, and her face emerges in one of the standing stones of Avebury's ancient stone temple, pragmatic, half-Haida archaeologist Jake Lalonde's life takes a bizarre turn. Engaged to one gorgeous woman, but secretly in love with another, Jake finds himself involved in the complicated lives of four individuals: his fiancée, an ambitious manipulator who came into his life out of nowhere, an ex Interpol agent who insists he's a ghost, a beautiful grad student who believes she was engaged to him in a past life, and a celebrity author who claims she can time travel. As the web of deceit tightens around him his calm, rational, academic world is about to implode. He had come to England to study archaeological phenomena concerning the images of ravens in Bronze Age megaliths only to have his sanity challenged, the British government after him for a secret he does not possess, and ultimately to be lured into a trap of supernatural proportions.
