Every historical fact and archaeological site is accurate.
The question remains: are they true?
Haunted by the sins of his bloodline, Dr. Ethan Stone uncovers a buried truth connecting an ancient Pharaoh’s murder to a modern AI war machine, forcing him to choose between seizing his father’s empire or letting it collapse under the weight of power and corruption.
Truth is Ethan’s greatest weapon—but it’s also the most dangerous force in the world. As an archaeologist, his life has been dedicated to uncovering historical facts, but when his latest research on King Tut is challenged by investigative journalist Regus Britton, it ignites a deeper probe into his past.
At the heart of the novel lies Fortis Defense, a military-industrial behemoth that has fueled wars and shaped global conflicts for over a century. Built by Ethan Stone’s ancestors, it has operated under the guise of national security while arming dictators and orchestrating covert operations.
From the assassination attempt that forces Ethan into hiding to the bodies left in the wake of Fortis’ global machinations, death follows his every step. But nowhere is mortality more present than in the mystery of King Tut—an ancient ruler whose untimely demise haunts Ethan’s dreams.
Ethan Stone has spent his life fighting external battles—against warlords, corporations, and the ghosts of history—but the greatest war is the one within. As the walls close in, Ethan is forced to confront the truth—violence is not just a tool of his enemies; it is in him.
Ethan’s search for truth takes him and his team across continents—from the sun-scorched excavation sites of Egypt’s lost city of Aten to the towering heights of Saudi Arabia’s NEOM project and the underground tunnels of Jerusalem. Each clue leads him deeper into one of the most contested mysteries in human history: the Exodus.
