The Alexandria Cypher

Book 1 of 3 - The Apocrypha Trilogy
A Sealed Chamber. A Hidden Fragment. 
A Truth They'll Stop at Nothing to Bury.
At seventeen, Ava Calloway can read a code no one else alive can. She and her father built the Alexandria Cypher together, sharing it only with each other.
Nothing could prepare her for where it leads; the discovery beneath Alexandria. A hidden chamber, untouched for centuries, holds a fragment tied to Mary Magdalene. For two thousand years, people have rewritten, debated, and deliberately suppressed the life of this figure. What Ava finds could shake the foundations of history itself. But some will do anything to ensure it never sees the light of day.
Drawn into a dangerous web of secrets is Marcus Visconti, heir to a lineage of scholars sworn to protect Christianity's most closely guarded truths. 
Together, Ava and Marcus unravel coded warnings, long-forgotten archives, and hidden manuscripts, racing across Egypt, Rome, and Switzerland.
For fans of Kate Mosse, Brad Meltzer, and Deborah Harkness, The Alexandria Cypher delivers a heart-pounding journey of mystery, history, and suspense.

The Characters

  • Ava Calloway - Seventeen-year-old Yale prodigy and the only person alive, besides her father, who can read the Alexandria Cypher. The code they created together. When he vanishes, the encoded journal he leaves behind becomes her only way to follow his trail.
  • Marcus Visconti - Seventeen-year-old heir to an old Italian family, Vatican-connected for generations and sworn to guard the Church's most dangerous secrets. He is now caught between the institution he was raised to serve and the truth Ava is chasing.
  • James Calloway - Ava's father, a renowned field archaeologist who vanished the night he uncovered a sealed chamber beneath Alexandria.
  • Dr. Eleanor Blackwood - A scholar working outside any institution, Eleanor operates from the shadows, reaching Ava through encrypted calls and careful letters, guiding her through a world she was never meant to enter alone.

The Plot

  • Seventeen-year-old Ava Calloway is the only person who can decode the hidden journal her vanished father left behind, and decoding it pulls her into a two-thousand-year-old network built to bury the truth about Mary Magdalene.
  • The trail leads to fragments of a text written by Mary Magdalene and scattered across the ancient world, each guarded for centuries by a preservation network, and each sealed behind trials few can survive.
  • Guardian families across continents emerge from decades of silence, each holding one piece of a truth the Church has spent two thousand years trying to erase.
  •  Each fragment Ava recovers helps unlock something else, and without the compass that guides her, the trail would have ended almost before it began.

Egypt - Three Years Earlier
The discoloration was barely visible. A faint change in the limestone where the tunnel curved, the kind of mark that twenty-five years of fieldwork had trained James Calloway to see.
