Across centuries, something long buried is awakening.

When archaeology student Penny Hoffman stumbles upon an artifact that should not exist, her search for answers pulls her from American classrooms into the shadowed streets of Jerusalem and beyond. Guided by an investigator devoted to protecting Israel's past, Penny uncovers fragments of an ancient prophecy tied to a forgotten tree and a bloodline she never knew was hers. But she is not the only one searching. As smugglers close in and the past begins to awaken, Penny must decide whom to trust and whether uncovering the truth will save her or destroy everything she loves.
