In her provocative second novel, Spanish author Julia Navarro takes readers on an exhilarating journey across centuries and continents, as an upstart archaeologist and a murderous group of conspirators vie for a treasure that will rewrite history an explosive account of the worlds creation recorded millennia ago by a humble scribe onto the legendary Bible of Clay. From the tense months preceding the contemporary war in Iraq, to ancient Mesopotamia, to the atrocities of the last century, here is historical fiction at its richest, a sweeping saga that challenges both conventional geopolitics and the very foundations of modern religion.
