Ethiopia, 1935. War looms. A myth awakens.

When Harlem journalist Cass Coltrane travels to Ethiopia to cover Mussolini’s brutal invasion, he stumbles into a deadly mystery buried deep in the country’s ancient past. Whispers of the Ark of the Covenant lead him on an odyssey, alongside a maverick British photographer Jessica Black and a conflicted Spanish correspondent Ander Ferro, where forgotten relics and dark prophecies surface.

Hunted by a Vatican agent driven mad by visions, Cass may be the key to a fallen angel’s return. But as Cass is drawn deeper into Ethiopia’s struggle, a parallel story unfolds of Prince Menelik, son of the Queen of Sheba, and a betrayal that unleashed a power too great for any age. The choices Menelik made echo through time, binding his fate to Cass’s in ways neither could have foreseen.

From war-torn landscapes to hidden mountain chapels, The Lions of the Ark blends real history with mythic suspense in a gripping tale of betrayal, destiny, and the battle for the soul of a man and the world.

As ancient prophecies stir and the enemies of Sheba’s lost kingdom rise, Cass must confront a destiny written in blood, and a war far older than the one he came to cover.
