Ancient Passages

Where ancient myths are history... and long-forgotten gods still guard their greatest secrets.

For more than five centuries, scholars, master codebreakers—even supercomputers—have tried to decipher the mysterious Voynich Manuscript. They have all failed.

Archaeologist Michael Rempart thought the nightmare surrounding his alchemist father had finally ended. Instead, Claude Rempart has uncovered the one thing history believed impossible—a key to the legendary manuscript rumored to contain the ultimate alchemical secret: not the making of gold, but the conquest of death itself.

Seeking refuge for himself and his young half-sister, Zoe, Michael travels to Sicily, where an archaeological excavation searches for the buried remains of an ancient Greek city near the legendary gateway to Hades. There he meets Eden Burrows, a brilliant linguist whose fascination with the Voynich Manuscript draws her into Claude's deadly scheme. But the manuscript reveals a truth no one expected.

As Claude's obsession with immortality drives him ever closer to unlocking its terrible secret, Michael must unravel a legacy stretching back centuries, confront the terrifying truth hidden within his own bloodline, and stop a man willing to sacrifice anyone—even his own family—to conquer death.

Ancient Passages is a sweeping occult action-thriller that blends archaeology, Greek mythology, alchemy, and one of history's greatest unsolved mysteries into a breathtaking race. Some secrets were never meant for mankind. Some gods were never meant to be awakened.
