The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice (2008)
The world's most unlikely hero is back for his biggest adventure.
While on a dangerous mission to recover the historic Judas Chalice, Flynn is saved by Simone. But when double-crossed by a respected professor and ambushed by a ruthless gang, Flynn realizes Simone's secret, his true mission and a shocking discovery are all lying within a decaying New Orleans crypt.
In The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “vampire-quest”. The story fights on E8/E11 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing vampire, myth, immortality, power, quest.
