I see only death... Death to the city. Death to all of its people.
When the prophetess Cassandra of ancient Troy foresaw the fall of the city, her warnings were dismissed as madness. Days later, Troy was sacked and destroyed by the Greeks, and it’s people were killed and enslaved. Over the following centuries, its memory faded until even its location was lost to time.
Three millennia later, at the archaeological site of Herculaneum in Naples, an Italian researcher uncovers a papyrus scroll hidden beneath the city for centuries. The scroll contains a complete version of a Greek poem about the fall of Troy, as well as hinting at the existence of Cassandra’s legendary relic said to grant its wielder the power of foresight. But before the researcher’s discovery can be shared with the world, she is brutally murdered and the delicate scroll is destroyed.
Now, Ethan Frost and his ARC team are thrust into a high-stakes hunt across London, Naples, Ankara and the ancient ruins of Troy and Mycenae. Pursued by a ruthless killer backed by a private mercenary network, Ethan must unravel a 3,000-year-old secret before a power-hungry villain claims the ultimate key to the future.
