The Mask of Arsenius
An Archaeological Thriller
Carpathian Mountains, 1943. Nazi officers tear open a monastery crypt and seize a mask carved from the wood and bone of a desert saint who chose forty years of silence as his gift to God. When a man wears it, his voice vanishes. The Reich believes it has found a weapon. It has found something far older.
Allied bombers scatter the convoy across a frozen valley and the mask disappears into legend. Eighty years later it surfaces in a warehouse in Queens, and a covert team called Aegis moves to intercept it before a collector called Grey can make it sing.
From the loading docks of Manhattan to the black markets of Istanbul, from a freighter crossing the Aegean to a frozen station in the Turkish mountains, the chase becomes a siege. And the mask is incomplete. A clasp is missing, stolen decades ago and hidden somewhere the Circle of Severance has been searching since the war.
