The Last Scribe of Hegra

Some secrets were meant to be buried. She's about to dig them up.

Dr. Layla Al-Qahtani has spent her career decoding the silent stones of Arabia's ancient past. But nothing has prepared her for what awaits in the unmarked tomb at Site K7.

A name. Shalamtu. A title that translates to impossible power. And evidence of deliberate, systematic erasure spanning two thousand years.

As Layla investigates, she uncovers:

• An inscription describing a female religious leader wielding authority that contradicts everything historians believe about ancient Arabia
• Connections to suppressed French geological surveys that mapped something beneath the tomb—something significant
• A modern conspiracy of silence involving powerful institutions with unlimited resources

Now Layla faces an impossible choice: Bury her findings and preserve her career, her family's safety, maybe her life. Or follow the trail wherever it leads—even if that means becoming the latest name to be erased.

From the UNESCO World Heritage tombs of Hegra to the archives of Paris, from shadowy surveillance to desperate flight, The Last Scribe of Hegra is a layered thriller about power, truth, and the women whose stories the powerful tried to silence.

For readers who love:

• Atmospheric archaeological mysteries
• Strong, intelligent female protagonists
• Middle Eastern settings with cultural authenticity
