The Kanawha Crown: 3

A broken relic. A false crown. A warning buried before history remembered why.When a blackened copper band is pulled from a rain-opened burial near the Kanawha saltworks, the discovery should have remained a question for careful hands.Instead, Reverend Ephraim Voss calls it a crown.To the hungry men of the Ohio Valley, it becomes proof of an ancient mighty ruler. To wealthy land speculators, it becomes a claim. To the hidden Sons of Nimrod, it becomes something far more dangerous - a symbol that can turn buried history into a theology of conquest.Eliza Hartwell knows the marks on the relic do not tell the story Voss is preaching. Silas Crowe knows the land beneath the discovery carries an older guilt of his own. As the valley fills with furnace smoke, printed lies, secret oaths, and blood spilled in the brine yards, they must uncover the truth before the false crown gathers men willing to kill in its name.But the deeper they dig, the clearer the warning becomes.The copper band was not buried to honor a mighty ruler.It was buried to condemn him.And by the time Eliza and Silas expose the lie, Voss has already turned his eyes toward the next ancient sign waiting in the earth - the serpent.The Kanawha Crown is Book 3 in The Ohio Valley Relics, a historical adventure mystery series filled with buried artifacts, ancient warnings, ruthless conspiracies, spiritual deception, and dangerous secrets hidden along America's forgotten river valleys.
