The Staff of Moses (A Guardians Adventure Book 1)

Four thousand years ago, the Israelites drove the Canaanites from Israel and they never quite got over it…

In THE STAFF OF MOSES, acclaimed Christian author Summer Lee breaks into the Biblical artifact treasure-hunting genre with an original, fast-paced standalone novel about the quest for the mystical Staff of Moses.

When the adventure begins in 1963, Aviela, who works for the government, is assigned to rescue archaeologist Eldad Ben-Tzion from danger and take him to Jerusalem. When Aviela locates him at the famous archaeology expedition at Masada, an evil Canaanite poses a threat to Ben-Tzion, and to the archaeologist in charge of the dig. Aviela tries to remove the man from harm’s way just when remarkable artifacts are discovered at Masada, and a professional conflict between Ben-Tzion and the lead archaeologist distracts him and throws him into a down spiral.

Unfortunately, the evil Canaanite knows how to work Ben-Tzion’s vulnerability and tempts him away from the expedition into the wilderness with promises of a find that is even greater than the Dead Sea Scrolls.

When the villain takes Ben-Tzion to Mt. Nebo, the race is on toward the Staff of Moses, and even more scrolls, in this page-turning biblical treasure-hunt that fast-forwards to the present day and adds two more archaeologists who can’t rest until they find the answers they seek. Aviela’s daughter, Achava, enters the story, too, and the two women are an adventure tag team of strength and power to fight the Canaanites for the most precious artifact of all: the claim of ownership to Israel.

THE STAFF OF MOSES contains the intrigue of an archaeological treasure hunt, humor, betrayal, loss and redemption, and all of the excitement that readers have come to love from the remarkable, versatile pen of author Summer Lee.
