Walk the Edge Between Truth and Legend
Codex
Codex is a postmodern mystery thriller that begins with a startling discovery beneath the volcanic rock of La Garrotxa. A mummified knight, sealed in lava, is unearthed clutching an armoured puzzle-box containing three ancient scrolls—two offering a radically different account of the New Testament, the third written on human skin.
Drawn into this mystery is Xavier de Torrent de Tête, the “Librarian of Lost Books,” whose rare expertise is vital to unlocking what the scrolls reveal. As word of the find spreads, religious zealots and shadowy orders close in, determined to seize the texts for their own ends. From Catalonia’s surreal landscapes to the corridors of faith and power, Codex is a labyrinth of history, obsession, and the peril of truths too great to control.
