The Secrets of Solomon's Seal
An ancient artifact. A deadly pursuit. And a mystery that spans three thousand years.
When Palestinian journalist Rahm Khalidi takes a vacation to Egypt's Sinai Peninsula with his mentor Professor Schwalm, he expects nothing more than a peaceful retreat. Instead, their tour van is
ambushed by Iranian operatives
hunting for a cyber-weapon that could devastate Israel's infrastructure.
In the chaos, Rahm acquires
Solomon's Seal
-a mystical ring with the power to enhance clarity and perception-and discovers it may be connected to an ancient biblical site that scholars have misplaced for centuries. The ring's mysterious powers lead Rahm to question everything he thought he knew about history, faith, and his own deep-seated resentments.
When the Professor is murdered by ruthless VAJA agent
Saeed Qatal
, Rahm must form an unlikely alliance with
Adi Ovitz
, a Mossad agent whose mission intersects with his own. Their partnership-fraught with mutual suspicion-becomes a journey that tests the boundaries of trust between lifelong enemies.
As they flee across borders and deserts with Qatal in relentless pursuit, Rahm is forced to confront his deep-seated resentment of Israel and the violent legacy of the Middle East conflict. The Professor's
dying request for forgiveness
seems impossible-until Rahm begins to understand the profound power hidden within Solomon's ancient ring.
Their archaeological adventure takes them from the ruins of ancient Yemen to the hidden valleys of Saudi Arabia, where they discover evidence that could
rewrite biblical history
. Following clues hidden in the very leather pouch that held the ring for millennia, they uncover the true location of the Split Rock of Horeb and possibly Mount Sinai itself-far from where centuries of tradition placed them.
At St. Catherine's Monastery at the foot of the traditional Mount Sinai, secrets buried for generations come to light, revealing connections between Solomon's wisdom, the Queen of Sheba's journey, and a modern quest for peace in a troubled land. As Israeli and Palestinian protagonists navigate their mutual distrust, they discover that the path to reconciliation begins not with nations, but with
individual hearts willing to change
.
weaves an archaeological thriller exploring how hatred imprisons while forgiveness offers the only path to peace-for individuals and nations alike. This novel challenges readers to see beyond ancient rivalries to the shared humanity beneath.
