A stolen artifact. A centuries-old secret. And a race against time that could change history.
For freelance treasure hunter Jules, the search isn’t just business - it’s personal. He’s finally located an artifact stolen from his mother, one that may reveal the location of an ancient tomb hidden from the world by one of Christ’s disciples.
When a ruthless billionaire beats him to the artifact, Jules must join forces with a group of rogue archaeologists. Together, they unravel clues left by an apostle, revealing secrets that defy both science and faith.
But they aren’t the only ones hunting for answers.
Now, Jules must race to decipher the artifact’s true origins, follow a perilous trail meant only for the holiest of men, and uncover the hidden tomb, which has the potential to alter the fate of the world - or destroy it.
From Europe to Asia, Tomb of the First Priest kicks off the Lost Origins series - each book unearthing a new chapter in humanity’s forgotten past. It’s perfect for fans of Clive Cussler’s globe-trotting adventures, James Rollins’ high-stakes mysteries, and Ernest Dempsey’s pulse-pounding archaeological thrillers.
Note: this novel was previously published by KindlePress under the title "Tomb of Aradia" by author name "Antony Davies." The first three books in the Lost Origins series have been republished under new titles and a new author pen name, and they contain minor editorial tweaks from the original texts. Original titles were The Reaper Seal and The Eagle Plague.
