What happens when a person living on the outskirts of Jerusalem digs up two ossuaries and finds a strange crystal the size of a smartphone able to repair itself when scratched and turns into a perfect mirror under laser light? When the crystal is put on the shadow gem market, suspecting that it is not natural, an American collector buys it, wanting to tap into its hidden potential. When the Israelis learn what it is, they want it back¿as do the Chinese¿as does the American government, which sets off a race to get it, no matter what the cost in shattered lives. A political drama so real, it will make you wonder if it isn't already happening.
