Guardians of Ancient Secrets: The Power Quest

A South African investigative journalist and veteran war correspondent, Nathan De Groot, embarks on a perilous quest when his grandfather, Professor Archibald De Groot—a renowned archaeologist—vanishes without a trace during an expedition in Ethiopia.
Left behind is his grandfather's journal, filled with cryptic notes, a trail of clues, and a single hint pointing to a hidden truth. The disappearance coincides with the unearthing of a modest yet momentous artifact linked to the Ark of the Covenant, discovered amid excavations searching for the lost Kingdom of Sheba.
As Nathan delves into the mystery, he uncovers a world of secret societies, where friends and foes are not easily distinguished. Guided by the legacy of his grandfather and aided by the Men-of-Men Alliance—a secretive brotherhood echoing the ideals of the Knights Templar—Nathan is drawn ever deeper into a web of ancient secrets and modern conspiracies.
