About this audiobook
Ancient myths are history. Some secrets should never be found.
Two centuries ago, a secret expedition shadowing Lewis and Clark vanished into the Idaho wilderness, leaving behind only rumors, a handful of cryptic journals, and one dying explorer's claim that he had looked upon "evil made flesh."
Now, when a university field trip disappears in the same mountains, archaeologist Michael Rempart joins the search. Instead of finding the missing students, he uncovers a hidden world no one believed could exist.
Beyond the modern world lies a forgotten valley where alchemy is real, legends still breathe, and a lost book holds the key to the Philosopher's Stone—and perhaps immortality itself.
But Michael isn't the only one searching.
Mercenaries, wealthy men desperate to conquer death, and ruthless guardians will do anything to possess its secrets. To escape, Michael must unravel a mystery that has remained hidden since the secret expedition first entered the valley—before mankind gains a power it was never meant to possess.
Because this discovery won't just change history. It will change what it means to be human.
THE SERIES:
The Ancient Secrets novels follow archaeologist Michael Rempart as he uncovers relics history tried to erase—each tied to alchemy, forbidden knowledge, and demonic forces that refuse to remain buried. Each novel is a high-stakes thriller spanning continents, blending real history, occult speculation, and relentless suspense.
From REVIEWERS:
"A story of occult secrets centuries old and mortally dangerous ... highly recommended." -- Michael R. Collings, Ph.D., a leading scholar and lecturer on horror and suspense novels.
"Enthralling & exciting ... one attention holding, edge of your seat thriller!" AudioBook Reviewer
"There was a definite Preston & Child feel to this book with a little supernatural thrown in for good measure." Brian's Book Blog
