It's 1915 and there's something within the cargo of a sinking battle ship that's not supposed to be there...a priceless, historic artifact that humankind has been searching for thousands of years. And in present-day Chicago, a man has been searching for it all his lifetime. He finally traces it to successful psychologist Stacey Ann Clark, and will stop at nothing to possess it. Meanwhile, there is a serial killer on the loose in Chicago and the detective responsible for the investigation believes it may be one of Clark's patients. She dislikes him immediately...or does she? For years she has kept herself isolated from intimate relationships for fear of being abandoned again. At the same time, there is an evil-minded man after her family heirloom. Unaware of the importance of this silver statue, Stacey finds herself at the mercy of the ruthless villain. When her grandfather is abducted, she must travel with the detective to the mystical land of the Fairy Chimneys in Cappodokia, Turkey, in search of the Golden Slate, in hopes of saving her grandfather. Derya Harman grew up in North Cyprus and Columbus, Ohio and now resides in Nicosia-Cyprus in the Mediterranean where she works as a clinical psychologist.
