Twenty-five-year-old Julie Jacobs is heartbroken over the death of her beloved aunt Rose. But the shock goes even deeper when she learns that the woman who has been like a mother to her has left her entire estate to Julie’s twin sister. The only thing Julie receives is a key—one carried by her mother on the day she herself died—to a safety-deposit box in Siena, Italy.

Oxford lecturer Diana Morgan is an expert on Greek mythology. Her obsession with the Amazons started in childhood when her eccentric grandmother claimed to be one herself - before vanishing without a trace. Diana’s colleagues shake their heads at her Amazon fixation. But then a mysterious, well-financed foundation makes Diana an offer she cannot refuse. Traveling to North Africa, Diana teams up with Nick Barran, an enigmatic Middle Eastern guide, and begins deciphering an unusual inscription on the wall of a recently unearthed temple.

Bei Grabungen in der Wüste stößt Diana Morgan auf die Spur der ersten Königin der Amazonen, Myrina. Um ihre Kriegerinnen zu befreien, stürzte Myrina sich einst mitten in den berühmtesten Konflikt der Antike - den Trojanischen Krieg. Fasziniert macht sich Diana mit Nick Barran, dem zwielichtigen Leiter der Grabung, auf die Suche nach dem legendären Schatz, den die Amazonen beim Fall von Troja retten konnten. Ohne zu wissen, ob sie Nick trauen kann, folgt Diana der Spur der Amazonen von der Ägäis über Deutschland bis an den Rand der Welt.
