An ancient manuscript. A hidden message. A truth that could kill. When book conservator Sophia Brandt uncovers a second, invisible text within a historic manuscript at the Berlin State Library, it seems like a mere academic curiosity. But what begins as a scholarly discovery soon unravels into a deadly conspiracy—one that reaches the highest echelons of power and digs deep into her own past. The deeper Sophia delves, the more dangerous her quest becomes. Amid secret symbols, encrypted messages, and shadowy encounters, she realizes: nothing in her life has ever been a coincidence. But some signs don’t lead to the truth— they lead straight into the abyss. A gripping thriller about the power of the written word, the weight of family guilt, and the unsettling question of how much truth a society can bear.
