About this audiobook
Four thousand years ago, Mahaway was sealed beneath the earth, imprisoned in a chamber covered wall to wall with an impossible message.
When a deep-sea expedition uncovers the lost prison beneath the Mediterranean, linguist and theologian Ruth Aldean becomes the first person in history capable of reading its ancient script. What she finds is not a warning, a prophecy, or a plea for freedom—it is a theological argument written across millennia by a being condemned since before the Flood.
As governments, secret organizations, and scholars race to understand the discovery, evidence emerges that other ancient prisons have already been opened. Something long buried is now walking the modern world.
Drawn into a conversation that spans four thousand years, Ruth must confront a question no human was ever meant to answer: Can mercy exist for a being beyond the boundaries of God's covenant?
Part archaeological thriller, part supernatural mystery, and part theological epic.
