Two thousand years ago, Simon of Cyrene lifted a cross from the shoulders of Yeshua-and became part of a covenant history was never meant to erase.
Now, twelve-year-old Rose has lost the only family she has ever known. Her grandmother left behind a telephone number, twelve ancient coins, and a warning: Never relinquish your birthright.
Then a stranger on a bus places a mysterious flower in her hands.
When Rose calls the number, Cilas answers-a grieving history professor holding a phone that belonged to his wife, Kasha. A phone that should never have rung again.
That single call draws them into a hidden history connecting Simon of Cyrene, the true tunic of Yeshua, and a secret others will kill to possess.
They believe it holds the key to eternal life.
As those hunting her close in, Rose must uncover what her grandmother protected-and why it has now been entrusted to her.
Her inheritance promises more than survival. But claiming it may demand the one sacrifice she cannot bear to make.
