The Ark of the Covenant, the greatest relic of several religions... Thousands of people have tried to find it for hundreds of years - all to no avail. But there are all sorts of rumors about it - in particular, that this is the most destructive weapon in the history of mankind, the punishment of God... But the young American photographer Edie Miller was not thinking about anything like that when she was invited by the curator of the Pudgeham Museum of Middle Eastern Art to creating a digital archive of ancient artifacts. And suddenly... Before her eyes, the curator is killed and his main treasure is stolen from the museum - the confidant “Stones of Fire”. The girl only miraculously manages to escape. Edie and her friend, writer Caedmon Eiswit, understand: this is not a simple robbery. For a confidant is needed in order to gain access to the Ark. This means that the Pajham killers know where the relic is hidden. And they must be stopped before it’s too late.
