Cross & Dagger: Sins of the Forgotten

By Zachary Helmke

Book One in the Cross & Dagger Series Some relics were never meant to be found. Some sins were never meant to be forgiven. Silas Mercer has spent his life in the shadows--first as a soldier, then as a covert operative for a secretive organization tasked with protecting the hidden truths of history. Guided by his faith and haunted by the things he's done in the name of duty, Silas lives by one rule: preserve the past, no matter the cost. But when a long-lost artifact tied to an ancient religious order surfaces in the war-torn mountains of Peru, that rule is shattered. What begins as a simple retrieval spirals into a deadly game involving a rogue historian, a mercenary cult, and a conspiracy that could unravel centuries of sacred truth. With time running out and the body count rising, Silas is forced to confront an unbearable truth: some of history's darkest secrets are rooted in his own bloodline. As he uncovers a past the world tried to forget, Silas must decide where his allegiance truly lies-- with the mission, or with his soul. Perfect for fans of Jason Bourne, Indiana Jones, and Dan Brown, Sins of the Forgotten is a globetrotting, pulse-pounding debut that blends faith, espionage, and archaeological mystery into a thriller you won't put down.
