About the book:
Fans of Indiana Jones will love the action and the chase for supernatural artefacts.
One toss of the coin is all it takes.
Nik races to Paris to find an ancient coin with mythological forces before a clandestine organisation can use its destructive power to wipe out civilisations. However, the trip does not go as expected. Nik’s grandfather has been kidnapped, and he is on the run, evading the French police, Interpol agents and a powerful, wealthy Slovakian magnate.
Nik teams up with a French taxi driver, a hacker and a librarian to avoid capture. Clues take him to Geneva and Rome, where he learns there is more to the coin than what his grandfather told him. After a close encounter with the police, Nik forms an alliance with the most unlikely partner—Detective Sauveterre. But is that the right decision?
Fans of Steve Berry, James Rollins, and Dan Brown will love this latest action-packed and suspense story from Award-Winning author Luciana Cavallaro.

PRAISE FOR THE RACE FOR THE LOST COIN
‘Fans of genre-bending suspense connecting the present to the mythical past should enjoy reading The Race to the Lost Coin, a fast-paced adventure about ancient coins that could doom the future with one flip.’ – Linnea Tanner | Award-winning author of Curse of Clansmen and Kings series
‘A mix of ancient history, mystery, action, and mysticism makes this a fascinating read.’ – Jacqui Murray | Author of the popular prehistoric fiction saga, Man vs. Nature and Rowe-Delamagente thrillers

PRAISE FOR LUCIANA CAVALLARO
‘Cavallaro’s descriptions are lush, sometimes even poetic, but she keeps her feet on the ground.’ – Literary Titan
‘Cavallaro blends scholarship and storytelling with an assured hand. Her background in ancient history is evident in the detail she gives to Greek customs, artefacts, and mythic lineages, yet she avoids the dryness of academic exposition.’ – BookViral

Don’t miss out on how the Coin of Time series began. Copies of Book 1 The Guardian’s Legacy will be available to purchase.
