THE SWORD OF YASUKE
A forgotten warrior. A blade lost to time. A man who believes he's beyond redemption.
​
After the Holy Grail rejected him in Jerusalem, ex-SAS operative Lucas Redmond knows the truth: his black-ops past has damned him. His ex-wife, archaeologist Natasha Travers, still believes in redemption—but Lucas knows some sins can't be washed away.
Now they have one mission together: destroy the Lapis Engines before Aurora Holdings weaponizes them. Starting with the Sword of Yasuke—forged for history's first African samurai and designed to channel elemental fury through his bloodline.
​
Aurora Holding's black-ops team is already in Japan, and they're not just hunting artefacts.
​
They're hunting bloodlines.
From Tokyo to Kyoto's sacred shrines, the team races against yakuza assassins and Aurora's forces. But when Lucas touches the sword's fragment, fire erupts in his hands—proof that Yasuke's four-hundred-year legacy runs in his veins.
​
The blade wasn't lost. It was waiting for an heir worthy of its fury.
​
Now Lucas must wield elemental power that proves he's exactly what he fears: a weapon meant for destruction. And when enemies corner them in Kyoto's burning streets, he'll learn whether controlling fire can save the people he loves—
​
Or if some men are too broken to be heroes.
​
Two other legendary blades are waiting. When the three swords reunite, they could resurrect the First Civilization's ultimate weapon—or burn the world to ash.
​
THE SWORD OF DESTINY
Joan of Arc went to the fire clutching a secret. Not faith. Not defiance. A sword.
Archaeologist Natasha Travers has always known the legends hide something real. Now she has proof — and so does Aurora Holdings. When intelligence confirms that Joan's legendary lost blade was broken into three fragments and hidden across three continents, Natasha leads Lucas Redmond and Ellen Paige on a desperate race from the châteaux of France to the deserts of Egypt and the ancient fortresses of the Holy Land.
Henry Mason is hunting the same fragments. Patient, brilliant and entirely without ideology, he has been building toward this moment for years. Voss is the blade he's chosen to cut through anyone standing in his way.
Mason doesn't want the sword. He wants what it opens.
The Sword of Destiny is the eighth book in Desmond G. Palmer's Acquirers series — a breathless blend of archaeological thriller, conspiracy and ancient mythology that fans of James Rollins and Matthew Reilly won't be able to put down.
THE SWORD FORGED in STONE
History built a legend around Excalibur. It buried the truth underneath it.
The real sword — Caliburnus, forged for Ambrosius Aurelianus, the Romano-British warlord who inspired the myth of King Arthur — has been sealed beneath Tintagel's cliffs for fifteen centuries. And Henry Mason has just found it.
For the first time, Lucas Redmond, Ellen Paige and Natasha Travers aren't ahead of Aurora Holdings. They're behind. Mason's brilliant and ruthless new operative Lexie Cain has the blade, the bloodline, and a head start to Orkney's ancient shores — where the earth Engine buried beneath one of the oldest settlements on the planet has been waiting five thousand years to wake.
When Mason activates it, the ground moves. Fault lines twitch across three continents. And somewhere in the chaos, he takes exactly what Project Haven has been missing since Xinjiang.
They stop him. But stopping him was never going to be enough.
The Sword Forged in Stone is the ninth book in Desmond G. Palmer's Acquirers series and the blazing conclusion to the Sword Trilogy. Perfect for fans of James Rollins, Matthew Reilly and Steve Berry.
