The Overwritten Covenant: A Ciphers and Codes Thriller

History doesn't just get written. It gets rewritten. Dr. Jennifer Gray is a respected historian with one career-damaging mistake she can't outrun. When a storm traps her in the university archives, she discovers a sealed room, a hidden box, and an ancient manuscript unlike anything she's ever seen—its text layered, altered, and deliberately overwritten to conceal what lies beneath. As Jennifer and her small team begin to decode the pages, a pattern emerges: symbols that behave like a living cipher, references to a vanished order, and a trail pointing to a long-buried archive rumored to hold the kind of truth that can unmake reputations…and governments. But Jennifer isn't the only one who wants it. A secret society has been waiting for the manuscript to surface, and her ambitious rival, Dr. Evan Mitchell, is willing to burn her career to claim the discovery for himself. Then the manuscript does something impossible. It reacts to Jennifer. Ink shifts. Hidden lines rise. Doors that should not open…do. The deeper she reads, the more the manuscript leaves its mark—granting flashes of insight that feel like power and punishment at once. And every breakthrough broadcasts their progress to enemies who know exactly how to hunt scholars who ask the wrong questions. From locked stacks and shadowed corridors to an escalating chase across old estates and forgotten ruins, Jennifer is forced into a deadly historical conspiracy where scholarship becomes survival. To solve the cipher, she must master what the manuscript is turning her into, decide who she can trust, and confront the one choice she's avoided her entire life: When the truth can change the world, do you reveal it…or seal it forever? The Overwritten Covenant is a high-stakes archaeological thriller packed with puzzles, betrayals, and a race to uncover a secret powerful enough to rewrite history.
