Beneath the sunlit stones of Malta lies a secret older than civilization―one that could rewrite history. For Ceti, a sharp-witted orphan drifting through life, a routine delivery plunges him into a hidden world of ancient relics and dark conspiracies.

Shadowed by unseen enemies, Ceti’s journey sweeps him from the neon chaos of Paceville to the depths of Malta’s catacombs, where whispers of a forgotten power pulse through the underground. As he uncovers a secret stretching across the island, Ceti learns that his own past is deeply entwined with mysteries hidden for millennia.

But he’s not the only one seeking the truth. Ruthless forces are on the hunt, and as Ceti races to stay ahead, he must confront the question: Will he risk everything to unlock Malta’s darkest secret?

Fast-paced and riveting, The Lost Guardian of Malta plunges readers into a Maltese labyrinth of myths and revelations, where every twist brings them closer to a truth buried deep beneath the island’s ancient bones.

Onder de zonovergoten stenen van Malta ligt een geheim dat ouder is dan de beschaving zelf―een geheim dat de loop van de geschiedenis kan veranderen. Voor Ceti, een scherpzinnig weeskind dat zich door het leven slaat, wordt een routineklus het startsein voor een afdaling in een verborgen wereld vol oude relieken en duistere samenzweringen.

Achtervolgd door onzichtbare vijanden voert Ceti’s reis hem van de neonverlichte drukte van Paceville naar de mysterieuze diepten van Malta’s catacomben, waar het gefluister van een vergeten kracht door de gangen echoot. Terwijl hij een geheim onthult dat zich over het hele eiland uitstrekt, ontdekt hij dat zijn eigen verleden onlosmakelijk verbonden is met millenniaoude mysteries.

Maar Ceti is niet de enige die de waarheid najaagt. Meedogenloze krachten volgen hem op de voet, en in zijn race tegen de tijd moet hij een allesbepalende keuze maken: zal hij alles riskeren om Malta’s duisterste geheim te ontsluieren?

Snel, meeslepend en vol spanning dompelt de Engelstalige roman The Lost Guardian of Malta je onder in een Maltese doolhof van mythes en onthullingen. Elke wending brengt je dichter bij een waarheid die diep begraven ligt onder de oude gronden van het eiland.
