A shocking truth lies within the pages of an ancient library, locked inside a high-security complex deep beneath the Nevada desert. And the US government will stop at nothing to keep it classified.

"As a museum conservator in Cairo, Samia Tedros has always dreamed of making an archeological discovery that will change history. But now that she's miraculously found it, she's being asked to turn it over to an unscrupulous man who has discovered her one weak spot: her boundless love for her sister who urgently needs a kidney transplant. To save her sister's life, Samia is being asked to steal a scrap of papyrus from the Gospel of Mary Magdalene and sell it to a man who plans to hide it from history. But Samia is determined to not let evil win. She understands the staggering importance of Mary's message and plans to outsmart her tormentor by creating a perfect forgery and preserving the real document to reveal the truth. But when her plan to double cross him is exposed, she's on the run for her life. The only person she can rely on for help is her former professor Cal Donovan, a religious scholar at Harvard who can be trusted to share this revelation with the world. Returning to Cambridge, Samia hides the ancient artifact and shows up on her mentor's doorstep in the dead of night. What follows is a deadly race to possess the papyrus and its explosive secret that has the power to change the course of Christianity. There's no choice but for Samia and Cal to restore the reputation of Mary Magdalene and defeat the American buyer who wants the truth-along with Samia and Cal-to be buried forever"--
