Synopsis of 25 Days
In a near-future society where history has been rewritten and all memory of God has been erased, ordinary lives unfold under the shadow of the Enlightenment Act, a law that criminalizes faith, worship, and even the existence of sacred texts. Against this backdrop, an unexpected visitation shatters the quiet lives of Joe and Mary Beth, a young couple in the capital city. An angel delivers a mission that seems both impossible and dangerous: find the last surviving manuscript of the Bible, hidden somewhere in the fragments of a past the government has worked tirelessly to destroy.
What begins as a spark of wonder quickly deepens into peril. The couple's lives intersect with a widening cast of allies and adversaries: Sunny Carter, a television anchor whose pursuit of truth jeopardizes her career; Liz Alden, a librarian whose curiosity masks a quiet rebellion; John, Joe's cousin, who opens doors to an underground network of hackers; and Elsie Whitlow, an elderly woman carrying secrets of a raid that reshaped history. Standing in their way is a powerful dynasty-the Langston family-alongside government enforcers like Saul Zephan, a man whose past is entangled with the very truths Joe and Mary Beth seek to uncover.
As each day passes, clues surface in unexpected places-a torn page, a whispered memory, an erased name. The deeper Joe and Mary Beth search, the more they realize the manuscript is more than a book: it is the key to awakening a world long stripped of its spiritual foundation. Their pursuit forces them to weigh faith against fear, trust against betrayal, and love against loss, even as surveillance tightens and danger presses closer.
25 Days is a suspense-filled, faith-driven thriller that blends dystopian tension with spiritual awakening. Across the twenty-five days of their quest, Joe and Mary Beth discover not only fragments of a hidden Word but also the resilience of a hope that cannot be erased. The novel is both a page-turning mystery and a reflection on the power of truth in a world built on silence.
