The Newton Cipher- Book 1: Light (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798195836764)

When a reclusive Scottish physicist is found dead inside an abandoned observatory, a single object is discovered beside the body-an impossible spiral burned into the stone floor. The symbol is older than the building, older than the man, and older than recorded history.

Harvard researcher Sophia Kessler, an expert in Newton's unpublished theological papers, is summoned to decode the mark. But the moment she arrives in Edinburgh, she is swept into a mystery far more dangerous than she imagined. The spiral is not a symbol. It is a cipher-one Sir Isaac Newton spent his life trying to understand, and one powerful factions have killed to protect.

Teaming up with Gabe Hawthorne, a brilliant but secretive historian with ties to a shadow organization known as The Helios, Sophia uncovers a trail of clues hidden in Newton's private notebooks, encoded diagrams, and forbidden writings on light. Each revelation points to a truth Newton discovered but never dared publish: light was not the beginning.

As Sophia and Gabe race from the catacombs beneath Paris to the forgotten libraries of London, they realize they are being hunted by forces who know exactly where the cipher leads-and who will do anything to stop them from reaching it. The deeper they go, the more they uncover a secret older than Newton, older than science, older than Scripture itself.

A secret about the First Architect. A secret about the First Dawn. A secret that could unravel the world.

Unless Sophia can decipher the final riddle in time, Newton's hidden truth-and the terrifying power behind it-will be lost forever... or unleashed upon humanity.

The Newton Cipher launches a new breed of intelligent thriller-fast-paced, atmospheric, and utterly unpredictable until its final, breathtaking revelation.
