Momento Mori

When the dead refuse to be forgotten, history becomes a weapon.

Professor Adrian Voss decodes symbols for a living. But when a blood-stained note and a single Latin phrase-Memento mori-drag him from a quiet campus into Lisbon's bone-lined chapels, he stumbles onto a secret archive engineered to remember what empires tried to erase.

With Isabella Cruz, a field-hardened investigator whose uncle died protecting a centuries-old code, Adrian races across Rome, Prague, Istanbul, and Alexandria, following a breadcrumb trail of clocks, catacombs, and whispered liturgies. All roads lead to a clandestine brotherhood-the Custodians-and a forbidden manuscript known as the Codex Mortalis.

Every clue opens a door. Every door wants a voice.

If Adrian speaks the wrong name, the archive will bind it-forever.

From midnight chases beneath the Basilica Cistern to a tide-lashed vault on the drowned foundations of the Pharos, Momento Mori: Echoes of the Vanished is a high-velocity puzzle thriller where history isn't past-it's encrypted.

Perfect for readers who love:

Code-riddled scavenger hunts and secret societies

Real art, architecture, and myth woven into fiction

Cliffhanger chapters and cinematic set pieces

Remember you must die. But first, remember who decides what survives.
