As an abduction near a Sydney school unfurls, Johan’s captors, led by a team of ruthless operatives who work for a secret Judaeo-Christian organisation, demand he retract his controversial work and return stolen Vatican materials. Detective John Costas chases down leads as the body count climbs, but faces frustration and dead ends. EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a breathtaking story of faith, loyalty, and the perilous consequences of unearthing dangerous truths. “Bolstered by a slick cast of investigators, operatives, and problematic men of the cloth, this complex and disquieting novel has a deeper purpose than plot-driven action, resulting in a timely, educational, and provocative read. This meticulously plotted thriller is an engrossing study of the contemporary ties of religion, politics, power, and belief that continue to drive much of the world today, while still reading at a blistering pace.” ~ The Independent Review of Books “…full of action… one can say that its pace is vigorous.” ~ Kirkus ReviewsMostra libro
Do you hear that call? In the smoke above the cold waters of the Volkhov River, a Name is being born. A name destined to become a destiny. A land where the Varangian sword meets the Slavic plow, and the whispers of ancient spirits drown out the clang of steel, awaits its hour. But the true battle for the future of Rus' is not fought on battlefields. It is woven in the shadows of the prince's hall, where three sisters spin a web of intrigue, and deep in the forest, where she lives—the one who sees the quantum thread of reality itself. Rus': The Seven Keys is more than a story of princes and warriors. It is a deep immersion into the mythology, politics, and soul of a people. Together with Prince Rurik, the wise witch Agrafena, and those who become the living embodiment of the seven pillars of Russian civilization, you will journey from the chaos of tribes to the birth of a great power. This is a novel about how Will, Mercy, Order, Memory, Knowledge, Truth, and Unity intertwine into one inseparable pattern—a pattern whose name is Rus'. In the year 862, the Viking chieftain Rurik is invited to rule the warring tribes of the Ilmen region. But his greatest enemy is not rebellious chieftains or foreign invaders. His enemy is the chaos in men's minds, and his weapon is not a sword, but a name for a new land. A name that must not be conquered, but remembered. He seeks counsel from one who lives on the boundary of worlds—Agrafena, a forest wisewoman who sees reality as a web of living energies. She teaches him a secret: the strength of a nation lies not in iron, but in the harmony of seven eternal archetypes. The Will of the Warrior (Rurik).Mostra libro
