Some discoveries rewrite history.

Others get people killed.

For archaeologist Professor Georgia Lee, this one may do both.

When Georgia Lee is called to investigate a mysterious discovery in Taiwan, she expects an academic breakthrough—not the beginning of a deadly chase.

The discovery uncovers a legend buried for over two thousand years.
The lost secret of the Imperial Alchemist—who vanished while searching for the legendary elixir of life.

Now powerful forces are moving to keep the truth hidden—and Georgia has just become their next target.

As she races across Asia, decoding ancient clues and outmanoeuvring ruthless rivals, the truth draws closer. And so do the people willing to kill to keep it buried.

This isn’t just history.

It’s a secret worth killing for.
