Elizabeth Lowell departs from her bestselling Donovan family series long enough to craft a bit of spellbinding suspense in Moving Target, a story of ancient relics, powerful magic, and timeless adventure. When Serena Charters inherits pages from a rare medieval manuscript after her grandmother's murder, it launches her into a life-and-death race that will span an inhospitable desert and centuries of time. The pages are part of a legendary tome known as The Book of the Learned, and when Serena has them appraised, rumors of their existence trigger several events. An old man with a vile temper and a desperate need to own the pages seems ready to go to any lengths to get them. A handsome rarities expert named Erik North has his own interest in authenticating and securing the pages. And Serena, who knows only that her grandmother's final words to her were to trust no man, must try to find the truth behind the power of the pages and the destiny that lies within her heart.
