Where are the symbols coming from and what do they mean? Why have they appeared in an Egyptian tomb, a Peruvian palace, and a shape created by a fakir’s squirming snakes? Could they be related to the astounding disaster at Stonehenge?

Gatsby Donovan’s career at the British Museum has made her an expert in decoding ancient glyphs, but resolving this archeolinguistic puzzle is the greatest challenge of her life. Will her empiricism unearth the answers or are they secreted within the manuscript that she dare not decipher?

With the assistance of Cambridge archeologist Martin Traussbery, Gatsby resolves to break the enigmatic code--unsure whether she is deciphering a shared hallucination, her own childhood, or perception itself--and finds herself dangling from the ledge of everything she had once believed about reality.
