Thriller Arcane | Inspirational Historical
Jonathan Marcus, a young American lawyer and a former
doctoral student in classics, has become a sought-after
commodity among less-scrupulous antiquities dealers. But
when he is summoned to Rome to examine a client’s fragment
of an ancient stone map, he stumbles across a startling
secret. The discovery reveals not only an ancient
intelligence operation to protect an artifact hidden for
2000 years, but also a ruthless modern plot to destroy all
trace of it by a mysterious radical bent on erasing all
remnants of Jewish and Christian presence from the Temple
Mount. With a cutting-edge plot as intricately layered as the
ancient sites it explores, The Last Ember is a riveting
tale spanning the high-stakes worlds of archaeology,
politics, and terrorism, in its portrayal of the modern
struggle to define — and redefine– history itself.
