It's not a myth. It exists. Find it. Ambitious geologist Ross Kelly has it all: a lucrative career searching for oil across the world & a beautiful brilliant wife Lauren pregnant with their first child. But when Lauren a Yale academic deciphers the university's mysterious Voynich manuscript which has confounded experts for centuries everything changes. An attempt to steal her translation of the Voynich leaves Lauren & their unborn child hovering on the brink of death & Ross in the depths of despair. Encounters with a sinister Vatican priest & then a mysterious nun convince Ross to seek salvation in the four-&-a-half-centuries-old manuscript which chronicles the ill-fated discovery of a mythic fabulous garden deep in the jungles of the New World: an Eden so terrible & miraculous it rewrites the book of Genesis & defies all reason. Although everyone tells him the story is surely an allegory the possibility of the garden's existence offers Ross the only hope of saving Lauren & their unborn child. With a ragbag group of confederates each with their own motivations he decides to seek the garden out before it's too late. But he is not alone. Racing against time a lethal assassin & a fanatical priest desperate to claim the miraculous garden for his church Ross' quest will lead him eventually to a place that might challenge everything he ever thought about the source of life on earth.
