Where ancient myths echo through crumbling ruins and long-forgotten gods lurk in the shadow some legends refuse to die...
Michael Rempart never expected to become a guardian. But after the devastating events in Russia, his ten-year-old half-sister Zoe is all he has left-and she carries shadows he cannot explain. She speaks of things she should not know. She dreams of voices that are not her own.
And someone is watching.
Desperate to protect her from the influence of their alchemist father, Michael retreats to the ancestral Rempart estate on Cape Cod. But Zoe does not belong in its polished halls-or in the private school meant to make her ordinary. The darkness that touched her mother has not released its hold.
A cryptic lead draws Michael to a remote Sicilian village steeped in the myths of Persephone and the underworld. There he meets Eden Burrows, a brilliant scholar obsessed with decoding the Voynich Manuscript-a book long rumored to conceal the ultimate alchemical secret.
Not gold.
Immortality.
As Michael and Eden begin to unravel the manuscript's hidden structure, he realizes the truth is more dangerous than legend. The philosopher's stone is not metaphor. It is a method. And someone has been guiding them toward it.
Manipulation tightens like a vice. Zoe's condition worsens. And Michael begins to understand that every step he has taken may have been part of a design far older-and far more personal-than he imagined.
From the haunted coasts of Cape Cod to the sun-bleached ruins of Sicily, Ancient Passages is a sweeping occult action-thriller of forbidden knowledge, corrupted legacy, and a battle for the soul of a child-and the future of mankind.
Book FIVE of the Ancient Secrets Series: Where the past is buried... but never dead.
From hidden relics to forbidden knowledge, the Ancient Secrets novels follow archaeologist Michael Rempart across continents as he uncovers mysteries history tried to erase-each tied to alchemy, ancient power, and dark forces that refuse to remain buried.
