When an archaeological excavation funded by Sam and Remi Fargo uncovers evidence of a sacred scroll stolen from a powerful African priestess in the sixth century, the treasure-hunting couple becomes fascinated by a legend of prophecy, betrayal, and a kingdom brought to ruin. But before they can follow the ancient clues, a shipment of supplies intended for their charitable school is stolen, drawing them to Nigeria and into a dangerous confrontation with modern criminals. As Sam and Remi investigate, they discover that the missing supplies and the centuries-old mystery may be connected to a much larger conspiracy. With ruthless enemies determined to keep the past buried, the Fargos must uncover the truth behind the lost scroll while protecting the people caught in its deadly legacy. Perfect for readers craving an adventurous archaeological mystery filled with ancient prophecies, African history, dangerous secrets, and a race to uncover the truth.
