When a quirky archaeologist finds ancient Viking parchments containing runes and riddles, his mundane life is changed for good. As he embarks on a dangerous quest to discover their origin, he finds himself plunged into the heart of an ancient religious conspiracy, fighting for his life.

"Egeland moves the plot back and forth across the globe and through time with ease. . . . Scandinavian mysteries in general are hot and Egeland is still at the top of his game."  —Booklist

"A complex and fast-paced conspiracy thriller of Old Norse myth, Ancient Egyptian superstition, and Christian secret societies. With codes, runes, hidden maps, [and] archaic symbols, it's a treat for all fans of Steve Berry, Raymond Khoury, and Dan Brown!"  —Kate Mosse, author, Labyrinth
