The Hildegard Seeds

A Vatican Secret Archive Thriller - Book 10

When investigative journalist Hana Sinclair stumbles across a mysterious clue hidden within an ancient botanical manuscript left by her late grandfather, she’s thrust headfirst into a dangerous quest linked to Hildegard von Bingen—a legendary 12th-century abbess, healer, and mystic. Hana soon realizes Hildegard’s manuscript holds more than mere historical significance; it might unlock revolutionary cures for humanity’s most devastating diseases. But she’s not the only one searching—someone powerful will kill to keep these secrets hidden.

Joining forces with Father Michael Dominic, the vigilant prefect of the Vatican Secret Archives, and Marcus Russo, a daring Vatican archaeologist, Hana soon discovers a chilling conspiracy. Zentara, a ruthless biotech giant, has been deliberately burying potential cancer cures for financial gain. Zentara’s influence stretches wide, its operatives brutal, and its determination absolute: control medical breakthroughs no matter the human cost.

Their urgent mission propels them from Geneva’s shadowed alleys to the sacred grounds of Rupertsberg Abbey—Hildegard’s medieval sanctuary—and into the sterile yet sinister labs of Zentara’s high-tech empire. With each revelation, the danger escalates, testing their trust, courage, and convictions. For Hana, the battle quickly becomes deeply personal, forcing her to confront her own beliefs about justice, ethics, and the true purpose of science.

But when Zentara accelerates its sinister plans, initiating reckless human trials with devastating results, the race against time becomes a matter of life and death. Can Hana and her allies expose Zentara’s dark agenda, protect Hildegard’s precious legacy, and preserve her visionary healing wisdom before it’s forever lost?

A heart-pounding thriller of courage, intrigue, and moral struggle, The Hildegard Seeds pits greed against the greater good, blending historical mystery and contemporary suspense into a riveting story that grips readers until the very last page—and beyond.
