The Builder

 

The Builder
Book Two of the Sons of Zadok Series
A Christian thriller of prophecy, destiny, and sacred architecture

70 A.D.
As Roman legions set Jerusalem ablaze, High Priest Zadok and a remnant of his priestly order flee the Holy City, carrying with them sacred relics and the last blueprints of Solomon’s Temple—treasures the conquerors will never find.

Two thousand years later
The descendants of those priests still walk the earth. Scattered across continents, twelve men bear the hidden mantle of prophecy. They call themselves The Sons of Zadok. One among them, known only as The Scribe, has one mission—to awaken the others before the appointed time runs out.

Present day
Ezra Osei, a Ghanaian-Israeli architect with royal Akan blood and ancient priestly DNA, receives a long-delayed inheritance: the Tabnit Scrolls—mysterious blueprints his grandmother ordered to reach him exactly ten years after her death. Etched with golden ink and impossible geometry, the scrolls defy reason… and summon destiny.

When a revered Jerusalem rabbi dreams of “blueprints on Black skin,” The Scribe knows his search is over. He journeys to Ghana to find Ezra—the next Son of Zadok to be awakened. But Ezra’s greatest struggle is not with the shadows that hunt him—it is with his own unbelief.

As dark forces rise, Ezra is drawn into a race against time. His ruthless adversary, Marcus Arte Madeira, will stop at nothing to corrupt the divine pattern. Backed by Charles Sullivan—an enigmatic Templar financier with secrets buried deep in Vatican vaults—Marcus launches a final assault on the prophecy itself.

To survive, Ezra must unlock the language of sacred geometry, confront his ancestral calling, and yield to the voice that has been calling his bloodline for millennia.

He is the Builder—and without him, the Temple cannot stand.

The Egyptian Codex

 

An ancient mystery. A modern murder. A race to uncover a truth buried for millennia.

Moses demanded freedom before Pharaoh. Plagues fell, the Israelites vanished into legend, and left behind no trace. For centuries, scholars and skeptics alike have searched in vain for answers.
Two hundred years after the Exodus, the last native Pharaoh of Egypt, Nectanebo II, fled into the shadows of history, carrying with him a sacred codex said to preserve the final secrets of the lost Israelites—and of Egypt itself. Hidden in an unmarked grave and encoded on a shard of pottery, the truth was meant to remain lost.
Until now.
When Professor Jade dies under bizarre circumstances mirroring ancient Egyptian embalming rites, historian Folashade Benson knows it was no accident. A cryptic message left behind pulls her into a web of riddles, relics, and ruthless enemies. With the reluctant help of disgraced Egyptologist Peter Fergusson, Folashade uncovers a forgotten link between Exodus-era myths, a vanished codex, and a secret society willing to kill to protect it.
From the libraries of Pittsburgh to the tombs of Nubia, from shattered ostraca to encrypted scrolls, Folashade must race to solve a mystery 2,000 years in the making—before history’s greatest secret is lost forever.
