Description

A LEGENDARY PORT

AD 72: Jayesh, a trader from the fabled city of Muziris, carefully conceals a relic of Roman origin that caused widespread devastation upon its arrival in India. He prays that it will never be found again.

A DANGEROUS SECRET

Present day: In the middle of a ferocious monsoon season, Dr Harveen Gill sets out to prove her worth to the Kerala State Archaeology Department by finding the location of the legendary Port of Muziris, which disappeared from history after the first century.

The remains of an ancient house buried beneath modern-day Kodungallur begins to provide the first real evidence as to what became of the port. Harveen and her team follow the trail from India through events that took place in Egypt, Rome and Jerusalem 2,000 years ago to seek the truth.

A DEADLY OATH

​Powerful men within the Vatican’s Santa Alleanza, the most discreet and deadly intelligence service in the world, are monitoring Harveen’s activities in southern India. Now that she is on the cusp of a discovery that could shake the very foundations of the Christian religion, they mobilize to bury the truth once again – and this time, they will make sure it is buried forever.
