A farmer discovers a stone in the New Mexico desert engraved with the Ten Commandments-in ancient Phoenician Hebrew, a language dead for 2,000 years.
Dr. Vivian Guthrie, director of the National History Museum, is thrust into a dangerous treasure hunt after a man who calls himself Joe "Sitting Crow," a mysterious benefactor with suspicious motives, reveals an astonishing tale. He claims the treasures of the Temple of Jerusalem, lost since 70 AD, were smuggled to the Americas by Phoenicians and hidden among his ancestors. His proof? A fragmented artifact tied to the museum's missing relics.
Vivian and Sitting Crow team up as extremists target the artifacts. But their alliance is fraught with secrets-Vivian's dark past that helped her rise to power, and Joe's hidden motives that could shift America's heritage forever.
After the CDC's lead virus researcher goes missing, the race is on to recover the treasures before history is rewritten in blood. Will Vivian's allegiance lay with humanity, or with the power bought by her own secrets?
