Book One of THE SEVEN SYMBOLS Series
FOUR MURDERS. THREE MISSING ARTIFACTS. SEVEN ANCIENT SYMBOLS. ONE SECRET THAT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE FOUND.
Some secrets are buried by time. Others are protected by murder.
When a respected scholar is murdered under mysterious circumstances, renowned historian Professor Dr. Tariq Al-Khatib is called upon to examine an ancient manuscript connected to the crime.
What begins as a routine academic consultation quickly becomes a deadly international investigation.
More scholars are murdered. Each victim was researching the same forgotten manuscript-Al-Bidayah, meaning The Beginning. And each death brings investigators closer to three mysterious missing objects:
Page 786. An Ottoman painting concealing hidden stars. An ancient manuscript known as Al-Bidayah.
Why would someone kill to possess them?
As Saudi homicide investigator Colonel Omar Al-Harbi follows the trail of murders, Tariq discovers that the missing objects may be connected to an ancient eight-pointed Seljuk Star-and a secret concealed for centuries.
Their investigation leads to Istanbul, where forgotten passages, encrypted manuscripts, ancient maps, and astronomical clues point toward something extraordinary.
Joined by a local historian and an American explorer, Tariq begins to uncover evidence that the symbols are not merely historical artifacts.
They are pieces of a puzzle.
A puzzle created by minds centuries ahead of their time.
But someone else is following the clues.
A powerful secret organization is determined to control whatever lies at the end of the trail. As the investigation descends into Istanbul's hidden past, loyalties fracture, deadly betrayals emerge, and every discovery brings Tariq and his companions closer to a truth that powerful forces have spent generations protecting.
Who murdered the scholars?
What is hidden on Page 786?
And why were seven symbols scattered across centuries of history?
The answers may lead to one of humanity's greatest forgotten discoveries.
If they survive long enough to find it.
AL-BIDAYAH (THE BEGINNING) launches THE SEVEN SYMBOLS, a seven-book international archaeological mystery and conspiracy thriller series blending ancient history, cryptography, astronomy, scientific discoveries, secret societies, and relentless suspense.
SEVEN SYMBOLS. SEVEN CIVILIZATIONS. ONE SECRET HIDDEN ACROSS CENTURIES.
The journey begins in AL-BIDAYAH.
