Everything We Chose Not to Burn

Some things are only visible from very far away.

When manuscript conservator Mira Kessler finds the same impossible symbol in a six-hundred-year-old folio and a forgotten photograph from the Peruvian highlands, fourteen careful years in conservation have taught her not to believe in coincidences that span continents. She stops believing in this one anyway.

Her search pulls her from a hidden Balkan family archive to an Ethiopian monastery, chasing a pattern that recurs across every civilisation whenever societies stand too close to scarcity, collapse, or fear -- and someone has been protecting it for far longer than she's been looking.

Caught between two rival factions -- one determined to contain the knowledge, the other to control it -- Mira must answer a question history has never agreed on: who gets to decide what survives?

A globe-spanning conspiracy thriller for readers of Dan Brown, Kate Mosse, and Preston & Child.
