What if the greatest secret in history was never meant to be found?

A dying Templar knight delivers a warning to King Edward I in 1272. His final words speak of a hidden Codex... a truth so devastating that generations have been willing to kill to keep it buried.

Seven centuries later, a forgotten discovery beneath London awakens an ancient conspiracy stretching from the Vatican and the Tower of London to the frozen wilderness of Iceland and the sacred mountains of Ethiopia.

As governments mobilise, secret orders emerge from the shadows, and history begins to unravel, archaeologist Lucas Reed finds himself at the centre of a race against time. Every clue uncovers another impossible mystery. Every answer brings humanity closer to a truth that could change the world forever.

Who can be trusted?

Who has been waiting for this moment?

And what happens when the greatest secret in human history is finally revealed?

The Codex of the First Light is a breathtaking historical conspiracy thriller packed with ancient mysteries, hidden societies, relentless suspense and cinematic action.

Perfect for readers of Dan Brown, Steve Berry, James Rollins, Glenn Cooper and fans of fast-paced archaeological adventures.

One will reveal the truth.
One will destroy it.

What a load of rubbish. The story is absurd, unbelievable and an old rehash of other writers.
