The Book of Wisdom: The Harmony on the Spheres 1 (The Harmony of the Spheres) (Volume 1)

Epic Adventure for Music Lovers and History Buffs The first volume of The Harmony of the Spheres is a journey from the Fall of Jerusalem to modern-day Dublin, a hunt to find the very first song, and a quest to rediscover the bonds between religion and superstition, between history and myth, between art and reason, between love and hate.  Jerusalem, Palestine. 68 CE. Jacob ben Honi must fight to protect the woman he loves and the heritage of his people from the vengeance he brought upon them. He hides an ancient book of songs, then encodes its location on a Copper Scroll. Next, he sends this Scroll on an odyssey which will draw generations of seekers into its wake. The scribe’s ruse sparks a war waged across centuries, while he is left with a debt he must wait millennia to repay. Dublin, Ireland. 2011 CE. Lured by a woman and a song, Douglas Crenshaw deciphers an Arabic poem and uncovers an ancient melody. As his rivals close in, he rekindles a flame while facing the truth about his past. Conflict leads to murder as his team joins the hunt for the Copper Scroll. Yet when he finally confronts the woman of his heart, she reveals a secret from their past. He realizes he has been duped. The origin of an ancient song is no longer the only mystery he has to solve, and the answers, it seems, are just beyond his grasp.
