Blurb draft for second book in series - Legacy of the Gods

Throughout history, heroes and villains have sought to obtain the artifacts and treasures left behind by the gods believing they will bring them great power. Some are merely legend; some, embellishments of ordinary objects; and some may just be the real deal.
Greg Cross is a man who knows this all too well, because his own encounter with just such a relic, though bequeathing him a power unseen since times of myth, very nearly cost him his life. 
Now, on the hunt for another ancient artifact, the final piece in a puzzle left behind by the last member of the enigmatic Order of the Nexus, Greg and his friends must follow a trail that could lead to answers to some of mankind’s deepest questions. However, they are not the first group in history to have been tasked with this quest, and this time there are those who seek the same prize for their own ends. Because in addition to being perhaps the key to understanding Greg’s own abilities, this particular artifact is fabled to be capable of leveling mountains, an artifact that in the wrong hands could lead to a tip in the balance of power on our planet.
