The Codex

By Richard Phillips

At Acre in 1277, a dying knight entrusts a secret to the future, a truth bound to a hidden codex said to contain the original words of Jesus, unaltered by time or doctrine.

Centuries later, siblings Freia and Noah are drawn into a race that spans continents, coded manuscripts, and buried histories, as ancient orders stir and long-buried revelations threaten to rewrite the foundations of belief.

Blending historical intrigue with modern suspense, The Codex of the First Light weaves real locations, forgotten manuscripts, and a dual timeline into a fast-paced thriller exploring faith, power, and the cost of hidden truth.

For readers of Dan Brown, Raymond Khoury, and historical conspiracy thrillers grounded in authentic research.
