There is no salvation for her. Not now. Maybe not ever.

Jane "Oz" Ozzimo didn't mean to kill her parents when she was eleven years old. But more than twenty years later she still pays the price every single day.

While excavating around an abandoned building in downtown Los Angeles, she stumbles upon an advanced technology. A technology produced by what she suspects to be a long dead civilization and one that could bring disturbing change if abused.

With desperate hope, she grasps this knowledge. A knowledge that promises freedom from the guilt, freedom from the pain.

But her discovery draws the attention of a powerful figure intent on stealing this technology, jeopardizing her future as an archeologist, and threatening her life.

What does Oz have to do to protect what she's found, to stay alive, to finally be free?

Searching for a Way Out is the thrilling first book in the Kurios speculative genre series.
