"On a rainy night in New York, one by one, the relic hunters are abducted. They are taken halfway across the world and made to take part in a series of contests. In arenas, in killing pits, in a race to the death and across the dreaded gauntlet they are made to fight for their lives whilst being cheered on by a fierce, vicious crowd drunk on bloodlust. The team’s newest member, Reilly, was missed by the abductors and must follow a trail across Europe and Africa in his desperate quest to save his friends. "
