A lost empire. A deadly secret. A battle for the future of humanity.
For nearly two thousand years, the Nabateans have remained hidden, secretly guiding events from the shadows. Now, their final plan is in motion--and only Carter Devereux can stop them. With his knowledge of the fabled City of the Giants and its ancient library, he stands as their greatest threat. Their orders are clear: take him down, no matter the cost.
Hunted across continents, Carter must unravel a mystery buried for centuries before the Nabateans reshape the world in their own image. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous the game becomes. Alliances are tested. Betrayals become lethal. And the clock is running out.
The Alboran Codex is the explosive sequel to The Wolves of Freydis and the third installment in the Carter Devereux Mystery Thriller series, where ancient secrets, deadly conspiracies and relentless action collide.
