What begins as a mystery becomes a race against forces hidden in history.
Ethan Cross thought his life was over. Disgraced, isolated, and haunted by the past, he never expected a dead friend to call him back into the unknown. But when a mysterious compass arrives, Ethan is drawn toward Egypt, the Hall of Records, and a truth others will do anything to control.
At his side is his estranged daughter, Sofi, an astrophysicist whose own buried gifts may be the key to unlocking what lies beneath the sands. Together they must navigate secret societies, ancient warnings, and a power never meant to be awakened lightly.
