Guardians of Sheol

By Kenny Pence

An enigmatic note from her missing Uncle Orvel thrusts Maria Brown into a daring adventure to find him and the secrets that led to his abduction. Orvel, a professor and highly acclaimed expert in ancient languages, has translated a document that could lead to the discovery of the immense, lost treasures described in the Dead Sea scrolls' most mysterious artifact- the copper scroll. Maria and Orvel find themselves entwined in an adventure fraught with deception, intrigue and danger. Following clues and solving ancient riddles, the couple struggles to keep sacred artifacts safe from those who would misuse them, but trusting the wrong people could cost them not only the treasures but their lives as well. Set in modern day Jordan, Turkey, and Israel, their quest leads them to ancient, historical sites such as Jerusalem, Masada, Hyrcanea, Istanbul, and Mount Nebo, each with its own reward and peril. In the process, Maria and Orvel both find treasures that had eluded them in their scholarly lives. Orvel discovers God's treasures buried both in the earth and in his heart. Maria, after years of devotion to scholastic pursuits, learns the sensation of falling in love.
