When American grad student and Veteran Joshua Bennett lands in Amman, Jordan, he

thinks he's chasing academic glory. What he finds instead is a centuries-old mystery

that's been waiting for someone reckless or desperate enough to uncover it.

At the center of it all is the Copper Scroll, a cryptic Dead Sea artifact rumored to hold

clues to an ancient treasure buried deep in the Judean desert. But Joshua soon learns

it's no ordinary scroll. Hidden symbols, coded phrases, and whispers of a "shepherd's

path" point to something far more significant and far more dangerous.

As the clues mount, so do the warnings. A silent observer in the library. A cryptic priest

with a knowing smile. A message slipped into Joshua's backpack: The shepherd's path

is not for the faint-hearted.

A cryptic priest and a rabbi jump in to help understand uncovered information. As

Mossad agents, Templar knights, and ISIS operatives close in, Joshua and his allies

race to unravel the truth. But who seeks to unearth it, and who will kill to keep it buried?
