Publisher's Synopsis
The Almasi Ya Kifo diamonds, respected, esteemed and celebrated by many... feared, cursed and despised by others.
Xenyatta Davenport, (Xen to those that know her) is a well-known fashion model and has graced the covers of many magazines. She's gorgeous, smart and kind, and just a little bit quirky. What isn't known, is that Xen also has a covert and ultra-confidential side profession; transporting precious gems for insurance companies.
Xen has arrived into Italy to complete her latest secret assignment. As in previous missions, there was a clandestine handover of the gems to Xen at Los Angeles International airport. Now she is patiently waiting for her Italian contact, ready to conclude the secretive delivery.
Xen's Italian contact becomes fearfully alarmed to recognize the cursed Almasi Ya Kifo diamonds are part of the delivery. She is beyond disturbed and vehemently refuses to accept the diamonds and thrusts them back to Xen.
Xen had unknowingly received the mysterious Almasi Ya Kifo diamonds as part of her assignment. Now Xen is wondering how she ended up with them?
On her return home, Xen is contacted by the mysterious Chief Amitola. He informs her that he knows the Almasi Ya Kifo diamonds are in her possession. He tells her the diamonds are priceless, and that they possess an energy that can bring good fortune and protection from harm to those that possess them. Whereas, there is profound danger and death to those whose intent is led by greed. He tells Xen that it is her choice to either return the diamonds to him - or keep them and become a very wealthy woman.
Like others before her, Xen will experience some of the strange unquantifiable energy that the diamonds retain. What will those effects be... enchanting or precarious?
