Thirty silver coins. Thirty impossible decisions. One woman caught between history, faith, and the weight of grief.
Dr. Miriam Levan is a scholar of ancient theology and a mother in mourning. When she's drawn into a mysterious global ritual surrounding thirty legendary coins-each linked to a vision, a test, a truth-she agrees to carry them. Not for redemption. Not for belief. But because something in her needs to know why.
From plague chapels in Germany to forgotten temples in Greece, from Vatican conspiracies to personal reckonings, Miriam's journey is both spiritual and deeply human. Each coin reveals a different face of silence, betrayal, sacrifice-and the unbearable weight of being asked to choose.
But someone else is searching for the coins. Someone who wants to control the story... and erase the parts that don't fit.
Thirty is a haunting literary thriller, blending mystery, metaphysical suspense, and emotional depth in the vein of The Secret History, The Leftovers, and The Sparrow. For readers drawn to theological intrigue, grief-laced beauty, and the question of what we owe the truth.
Fans of Donna Tartt, Lauren Groff, or Emily St. John Mandel will find themselves compelled by the book's quiet tension, sacred secrets, and the strength of one woman who refuses to be erased.
"Redemption isn't about making a perfect story.
