Darkness hardback

Legend has it the Darkness gem holds all the evil of a long-dead alien race, and that whoever possesses the stone will discover the secrets hidden within. Jayden Pearce, famed fortune hunter and galactic adventurer, braved the Dark Forest and ancient temples that kept the stone hidden for centuries. Never one to buy in to curses or dark energy, he sold the gem for a tidy sum to private collector and all-around bad guy Giles Markem, who gave it to his fiance as a wedding gift. But legend forgot about Light, the sister stone to Darkness and the map that holds the key to untold rewards. Jayden Pearce forgot about it, too, until his old partner returned with an offer he couldn't refuse.
