Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A shattered stone. A missing piece. A king who told the story his way.Nearly 3,000 years ago, King Mesha of Moab carved his victories into stone. His famous inscription-the Mesha Stele-still survives today, and the war it describes is also recorded in the Bible in 2 Kings 3.But the stone was broken.And some of its pieces were never found.When thirteen-year-old Ethan Mercer and his sister Maya visit the reconstructed stele at the Louvre, they expect history. Instead, they are shown a newly surfaced fragment that may belong to the ancient monument.Three incomplete letters are enough to set off a worldwide argument.Some claim the fragment confirms one of biblical archaeology's most famous disputed readings. Others insist it proves the opposite. Reporters descend. Experts take sides. Social media decides the answer before the investigation has even begun.Then the photograph leaks.When Maya notices something everyone else missed, the Mercer family is drawn from Paris into the ancient land of Moab. There, ruined cities, forgotten records, buried fragments, and the remains of a real biblical war begin pointing toward a mystery much larger than one missing piece of stone.And then Ethan sees a symbol he recognizes.The broken circle.Someone else has been following the evidence.Someone wants the stone to tell a particular story.And someone may be willing to do almost anything to make sure it does.THE BROKEN STONE is Book Two in the WHEN THE STONES SPEAK series-fast-paced archaeological adventures built around real places, real artifacts, biblical history, family, faith, mystery, and danger.Perfect for young readers who love adventure, archaeology, ancient history, biblical mysteries, and stories that make them want to keep reading-and keep asking questions.Because wanting something to be true is not evidence that it is true.And sometimes even broken stones still speak.
