Some secrets are worth dying for. Some are worth saving the world for.
Alexandria, 48 BCE.
As fire consumes the legendary Library of Alexandria, young librarian Nikanor risks everything to rescue a handful of priceless manuscripts from history's greatest repository of knowledge. But hidden among the rescued scrolls is a cryptic message leading to an ancient secret that powerful forces have sought for centuries.
Pursued by Roman soldiers, shadowy conspirators, and a ruthless fanatic determined to erase humanity's greatest achievements, Nikanor embarks on a perilous journey across the Mediterranean.

As allies become friends and enemies become unexpected companions, Nikanor must answer a question that has echoed through history:
Who should control knowledge-and who should have access to it?
