Synopsis:
Zara Khatum, a former Kurdish freedom fighter, struggles to reconcile her violent past with her burgeoning prophetic calling. Plagued by visions and the voice of a powerful female entity, she finds herself at the heart of a global conflict fueled by the search for the “black object” – an artifact of immense power. Peter Gollinger, a Californian editor haunted by his family’s ancient legacy, finds himself deeply intertwined with Zara’s destiny. Their shared ancient DNA links them to the matriarch of the prophecies, granting them unique abilities and a connection that transcends time and space.
As global tensions escalate, fueled by a shadowy organization known as NiQihs, Zara and Peter embark on a quest to find the “cavern of the blue light” – a mythical sanctuary spoken of in both their family legends. Their journey takes them from the redwood forests of California to the ancient ruins of the Middle East, uncovering secrets buried for millennia and navigating a treacherous web of political intrigue and betrayal.
Their quest is further complicated by the reappearance of past loves and the realization that their destinies may require them to make the ultimate sacrifice. Mei, Peter’s brilliant geneticist friend, carries his child, conceived through a mysterious genetic bond, while Rachel, a brilliant Israeli archaeologist seeking the goddess Asherah, becomes entangled in their mission, her own family legacy intertwined with theirs.
Zara wrestles with the demands of her calling, facing pressure from those who see her as a messiah while questioning her own sanity. Peter, plagued by terrifying dreams, seeks to unravel his family’s involvement in WWII Nazi eugenics experiments, uncovering a dark secret that binds his fate with Rachel’s family and reigniting a generations-old vendetta.
As the world teeters on the brink of nuclear war, Zara and Peter must confront a truth far more profound than they ever imagined. The cavern they seek holds the key to not only their personal destinies but the fate of humanity. They must learn to trust each other, embrace their unique abilities, and make the ultimate choice between love, duty, and the survival of mankind.
