The Silent Code
A Thriller of Secrets, Betrayal, and a Deadly Pursuit
Synopsis:
When world-renowned cryptologist Adrian Voss receives an anonymous email containing an impossible cipher, he knows two things-it's ancient, and it shouldn't exist. Before he can decipher its meaning, masked assassins break into his Istanbul apartment, forcing him into a deadly chase across continents.
At the same time, in Santorini, Greece, art historian Elena Petrov stumbles upon a hidden parchment inside an ancient painting-one bearing the same mysterious symbols as Adrian's cipher. Before she can uncover its secrets, she finds herself hunted by a secretive and ruthless order known as The Orbis Society.
Together, Adrian and Elena embark on a perilous journey, from the catacombs of Paris to the jungles of Cambodia, from the snow-covered Swiss Alps to the forgotten ruins of Egypt. With assassins on their heels and the world's most powerful organizations watching their every move, they must unlock the secrets of the Silent Code-a riddle so dangerous it has been buried for over a thousand years.
But as they get closer to the truth, they begin to question everything they know.
What if decoding the message doesn't lead to salvation-but destruction?
What if some secrets were never meant to be uncovered?
