What if the past refused to stay buried?

When a young archaeologist joins the excavation of a Roman villa destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius, the discovery promises insight into a lost world. But as ancient scrolls begin to emerge from the ruins, the past reveals secrets that challenge accepted history - and begin to reshape the present.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of southern Italy, The Secrets of the Scrolls is an atmospheric work of historical fiction that blends archaeology, classical history and mystery. As the excavation deepens, buried narratives come to light, and the search for knowledge becomes a journey of discovery, ambition and consequence.

Exploring themes of truth, interpretation and the stories history leaves behind, this is a novel for readers drawn to richly imagined settings and thought-provoking historical intrigue.

A haunting novel of identity, power, and the cost of truth-perfect for readers of Maggie O'Farrell, Kate Mosse, and A. S. Byatt.
