When the Dead Sea scrolls went missing after hundreds of years in museums and libraries all over the world within a single week, no one expected to see them again. But then again, no one knew about the tiny island in the middle of the Dead Sea that's hidden inside a magical mirage. No one but me. Then again, no one else knows about the magic that encapsulates these scrolls to this day. Though the scrolls have always been lauded for their insight into history, they are encoded with prophecies about the future, which makes it even more important to find them. I still don't know who managed to steal every single scroll from some of the most carefully protected museums and libraries across the world or why they decided to imprison them in a huge treasure chest on an island that is only rumored to exist, but I know they need to be found. The only reason they've been hidden is out of fear for the secrets they contain--secrets that might change the fate of the world. I just have to hope and pray that the only thing dead at the end of my journey will be the sea.
