A woman stands on a mountain with more mountains in the misty distance. The title is Emperor's Tomb.

CAT BURGLARY. TOMB RAIDING. TREASURE HUNTING. ALL PART OF THE GAME.

Livi Talbot is at last recovered and ready for more work just as a viral tabloid story about her misbegotten youth sends her across the globe with her family in tow. She’s supposed to be on a job for the agency, but when West disappears on another mission, she’s free to help a friend in need of backup for an artifact heist in Australia.

The only thing more dangerous than a rich collector is a true believer who will steal, blackmail, and even kill in their quest to reach the legendary land of Mount Penglai, a mythical island of immortals—and Livi’s the person they believe can get them there.

Most of Livi’s usual team is AWOL and now she’s reluctant allies with her enemies. If she puts a toe out of line, a jail cell awaits her—and that’s the best-case scenario. At worst, a bounty on her head. The prize for success is immortality itself, but Livi will settle for just getting out—and returning to her beloved daughter—alive…
