The Phoenician Scheme 2025

Chapter 1: The Whispering Stone
Dr. Nia Al-Masri, a brilliant but overlooked archaeologist, finds herself in the middle of an excavation funded by a shadowy historical society. Beneath the sands near Tyre, she uncovers a jagged slab inscribed with ancient Phoenician glyphs - too advanced, too prophetic for its era. Before she can catalog it, her local assistant vanishes without a trace.

Chapter 2: Echoes in the Code
Returning to Beirut, Nia deciphers the inscription: it's a riddle about a city "beneath the sea" and a "scheme of the serpent." At night, her lab is ransacked. An ex-MI6 operative named Adam Price appears, claiming the stone is part of an ancient war protocol - a Phoenician prophecy encrypted with a technology lost to time. And someone wants it silenced.

Chapter 3: A Game of Lies
Nia and Adam travel across Istanbul, Athens, and Tunis, chased by mercenaries from the enigmatic group "The 72nd Gate." They learn that the Phoenician Scheme refers to a weapon hidden beneath the ruins of Carthage - a weapon not of bombs, but of memory manipulation. Entire civilizations can be erased from human history.

Chapter 4: Eyes of the Oracle
In Sicily, they track down a blind oracle who once worked as a CIA codebreaker. She tells them the scheme is still active - and modern leaders are using it. Each war, each cultural erasure, is an echo of this ancient machine. But the key to stopping it is tied to Nia's own ancestry.

Chapter 5: The Map in Her Blood
A DNA test reveals Nia is a direct descendant of the high priestess who last sealed the weapon. Her memories, her instincts - they aren't coincidences. They're genetic codes. The final key is hidden in her dreams - dreams she's had since she was a child.
