Jonathan Marcus, a young American lawyer and former doctoral student in classics, is summoned to Rome for a case and stumbles across a message hidden inside an ancient stone fragment. The discovery propels him on a perilous journey that takes him from the labyrinth beneath the Colosseum to the biblical-era tunnels of Jerusalem in search of a two-thousand-year-old artifact sought by empires throughout the ages. As Marcus and UN preservationist Dr. Emili Travia dig more deeply into the past, they're stunned to discover not only an ancient intelligence operation marshalled to protect the artifact, but also a cold-blooded modern plot to destroy all trace of it, erasing every remnant of Jewish and Christian presence from Jerusalem's Temple Mount, in the process redefining history itself.
