The VanderBilt Deception – Part 1

Description

They awakened something ancient. Now civilization is collapsing beneath it.

Six months after the Watchers shattered the modern world, the apocalypse Amanda VanderBilt fought to prevent has

finally arrived. The Mahdi now rules from a desecrated Vatican. Sacred texts burn in public squares. Governments no

longer protect their citizens — they hunt them on behalf of forces that were never human. Amanda survived the first

collapse.

She was never supposed to. Branded at the genetic level by a mysterious device recovered before civilization fell,

Amanda follows a dead man’s encrypted trail through frozen wilderness toward a forgotten Scottish castle — and

toward a forbidden truth hidden within her own bloodline. But Amanda is only one piece of a much larger conspiracy.

In the Philippines, a disgraced special forces operative is forced back into service by a man driven by obsession and

buried secrets. In India, a blogger intercepts a transmission from the final surviving intelligence of a destroyed ancient

order. In the Arabian Sea, Kian Ishfani fights to protect his family aboard a refugee yacht — until a rescue mission

delivers him into a trap designed to turn his execution into the Mahdi’s greatest propaganda victory. Four lives. Four

missions. One conspiracy stretching across centuries, bloodlines, theology, and the hidden foundations of human

history. Because the deception never ended. And what was once buried to protect humanity may now be the only

thing capable of saving it.

The truth doesn’t stay buried. Neither does Amanda VanderBilt.

Part 2 of the VanderBilt Deception is expected this fall 2026
