The Blood King

Relics of God, Book 1

Take part in an exhilarating crusade through the veiled passages of history and time’s enigmatic secrets in The Blood King, an adrenaline-fueled thriller from the international bestselling author of The Cursed Thief, Matt James, and narrated by the incredibly talented Matthew Crow.

Jacob Fehr has devoted his life to neutralizing high-level threats. From his days in Unit 217, an elite division within the Israel Defense Forces, to his current service with the Mossad, Jacob's skills have been honed in the crucible of undercover operations across the Middle East. Little does he know that his most challenging mission is about to unfold.

Naomi Fehr, a brilliant historian and archaeologist, unearths an ancient ruin in Jerusalem that defies the limits of reality. As she and her colleagues delve into the enigma, they stumble upon a truth that draws the attention of a clandestine organization shrouded in a 2,000-year-old mystery that seeks the same knowledge. As a result, they ruthlessly attack the Israel Antiquities Authority headquarters and leave chaos in their wake.

Miraculously escaping the brutal attack, Naomi and her department head seek refuge with the only person they can trust, Naomi's twin brother, Jacob.

From the vibrant streets of Tel Aviv to the misty Scottish Highlands, the Fehrs must combine their unique talents to uncover the orchestrators behind the bloody assault. The stakes intensify as they race against time to prevent the shadowy group from obtaining their ultimate prize, the HOLY GRAIL, as well as the legendary gift it's said to bestow upon those who possess it.

What a story!

I’m a fan of Matt’s, there’s no denying. And Jack Reilly is, for me, top tier adventure.

But this series… wow. I am blown away by how much I enjoyed the story. The characters were fantastic and very personable. The mystery drew me in right away, and I can tell You, I can’t wait to see what happens next.

The narration was also top notch. All of these characters have become real people, because of the performers skills.

What a wonderful story!

A nice spin on a well known treasure

When it comes to treasure hunting books I usually avoid the stereotypical ones such as the Holy Grail, however the Mossad involvement was a nice touch that hooked me with the involvement of non canon bible verses and arthurian legend, I sometimes enjoy the more historically accurate stories, but this fast paces action/archeological books are indeed a treat and now I gotta say I’ll keep reading the relics of God series.
