What if the greatest secret in human history… was buried to protect the world from total destruction?
From master storyteller Bruce Savage comes The Skull—a relentless, high-stakes thriller where ancient legend, forbidden knowledge, and unstoppable evil collide.
It begins with a discovery that should never have been made: a hidden manuscript that reveals the true story of creation… and the fall of Lucifer himself.
For billionaire collector Heinrich Hirsch, it’s the key to unimaginable power. For archaeologist Professor Richard Jenkins, it’s the beginning of a nightmare.
When Jenkins is recruited to hunt down a long-lost artifact—the skull of Lucifer—he’s thrust into a deadly global race that spans secret vaults, forbidden lands, and ancient ruins.
But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes the horrifying truth:
The skull isn’t a relic. It’s a prison.
As hidden forces awaken and a sinister conspiracy unfolds, the boundary between myth and reality shatters. Fallen angels stir. Rituals begin. And a power long buried begins to rise—one that could plunge the world into chaos and bring about the end of humanity itself.
Now, hunted by enemies on all sides and guided by forces he can barely comprehend, Jenkins must make an impossible choice:
Unlock the truth… or destroy it before it’s too late.
Perfect for fans of fast-paced supernatural thrillers and epic good‑versus‑evil battles, The Skull delivers:
Explosive action and globe‑spanning adventure
Ancient mysteries rooted in religious lore
A gripping race against time to stop the apocalypse
Because some discoveries were never meant to be found…
—and some relics should remain buried forever.
