what people say

This is a heck of introduction to Ava and the Apocrypha Trilogy. It has an amazing mix of mystery, history and secrets. It is a well written YA historical fantasy that is easy to get lost in. I can't wait to read the next journey of the series.

Spiritual Mystery of the Finest Order
Quite a remarkable story!

Ava’s journey is the kind of brave, brainy adventure I wish I had growing up—this book left me breathless and wanting more.

I was immediately drawn into The Alexandria Cypher, the first book in The Apocrypha Trilogy. It’s a fast-paced, intelligent adventure that balances historical mystery with emotional depth. Ava Calloway, the protagonist, is refreshingly sharp and resourceful—her intellect drives the story in a way that feels both believable and empowering.
What stayed with me most was the way the book explores family.

One of the items left for Ava is an unusual golden compass with symbols that she believes will help her find her father’s truth. And then, as Ava and her trusted friend Marcus would say “Holy shit!” Ava and Marcus use his connections to get to the Vatican, where the real adventure that could cause Ava’s death or change humanity forever begins. In the best tradition of Dan Brown, Kathleen MacGowan, Danielle Trussoni, and Katherine Neville, D.A. Wells creates believable secret organizations and spiritual truths that leave the reader questioning.

I am a fan of archaeological mysteries and this book takes it to a new level easily giving Dan Brown a run for his money. Mysteries become unlocked at a 17-year-old prodigy works with old text and discovers the mysteries within. Ava tracks through her father‘s journal to discover hidden text. The text contain writings from Mary Magdalene and contain an awakening power within each text. This becomes a mad race to find the next scrap of the text before it is destroyed by those Invested in keeping the truth from the world. This is an absolutely fascinating, compelling, thought, provoking, storyline!

Book 1 of 3 - The Apocrypha Trilogy

When seventeen-year-old Yale prodigy Ava Calloway discovers her missing father's hidden research, she uncovers a shocking truth: a global network has preserved suppressed Christian knowledge for nearly 2,000 years, and she carries the rare bloodline needed to unlock it. Armed with her father's mysterious compass and cryptic journal, she teams up with Marcus Visconti, whose Vatican family connections run deeper than either imagined.
Racing from Yale to Alexandria's underground chambers to the Austrian Alps, Ava learns she's not just uncovering history—she's awakening a consciousness enhancement network that could trigger evolutionary advancement in over a billion people worldwide. But the Vatican's shadowy Custodians have spent seventeen centuries suppressing this knowledge, and they'll stop at nothing to prevent what they call the "Grande Convergenza."
With her father imprisoned in Vatican facilities and time running out before Jerusalem's master site is sealed forever, Ava faces an impossible choice: retrieve the final authentication materials from her family's Texas ranch and risk global confrontation, or watch humanity's greatest evolutionary opportunity slip away. Ancient bloodlines clash with institutional power as the future of human consciousness hangs in the balance.

Prologue

The dreams had been getting stronger. For months now, Celeste had awakened with fragments of impossible visions—herself wielding cosmic magic with impossible mastery, standing in chambers that felt ancient and familiar, protecting magical anchors she'd never seen. The dreams felt like memories of a life she'd never lived, a destiny she couldn't possibly understand.
