As one of the first archaeologists to examine Otzi, an ancient man murdered on an isolated ridge of the Alps Mountains, Sophia Bruckner discovers something astounding-a controversial knowledge that could forever change our vision of Neolithic societies. But Aton Schmidt, a desperate, unbalanced professor, will stop at nothing, including murder, to control the project. Sophia finds evidence of Aton's criminal activities, putting her life in danger. In another time and place, after the destruction of his village and the murder of his father, Tesimo, a goat herder, follows a royal messenger into an unknown realm. From the icebergs of the North Sea to the sun of Malta, Tesimo's journey uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the peace of the land. Along the way, he gathers the history and faith of these people from ancient priests and teachers, learning one of the greatest secrets of his time. This novel explores the intertwining destinies of Sophia and Tesimo, two seekers living thousands of years apart. A thrilling adventure with unexpected depth that readers of The Da Vinci Code or The Alchemist will enjoy.
