THE ALTAR OF PERGAMON: The Mystery of the Dark Angel and the Future of the World

Now Elena and a determined Turkish antiquities officer must outrun a secretive foundation with deep pockets and deeper connections — one that doesn't fear what the ancient cult of the "Dark Angel" was built to contain. It intends to use it, staging the discovery of the millennium as proof the end of the world has finally arrived, and using the panic that follows to seize a very human kind of power.

With a countdown carved in stone and time running out before "the seventh dawn," Elena must decide how much of the truth the world can survive — and whether some secrets are safer carried together than alone.

A religious conspiracy thriller for readers of Dan Brown and Steve Berry, grounded in real history and asking a very modern question: what happens when ancient fear becomes a modern weapon?
