Ashburn: Book 2 of the Storyteller Trilogy

History remembers empires. Ashe remembers history. All of it.For two thousand years, Ashe has survived the rise and fall of civilizations. But surviving the modern world may prove far more difficult. In the aftermath of Cameron Task's death, a dangerous secret remains buried in the digital heart of the modern world. Somewhere inside a massive data center in Ashburn, Virginia, lies the archive Task spent years assembling-every record, every rumor, every fragment of evidence pointing to the impossible truth about Ashe. If that information reaches the wrong hands, the quiet life Ashe has fought to maintain will vanish forever. But Ashe is not the only one searching for it. Driven by a ruthless sense of divine duty, FBI Special Agent Lamentation Standish has begun his own hunt. To him, Ashe is not merely a man with a secret. He is something unnatural-something that must be exposed and destroyed. As the past resurfaces in fragments of memory stretching back decades and centuries alike, Ashe finds himself forced to confront the long trail of lives, choices, and unfinished promises that still follow him. And among those drawn into the danger once again is Dani Linder-one of the few people who has walked beside Ashe long enough to observe the burden he carries, and perhaps the only one who truly understands the man behind the mystery. As federal agents close in and powerful enemies circle, Ashe and his unlikely allies must race against time to reach the Ashburn servers first. Because once the truth about Ashe is uncovered, it will no longer belong to him. And the modern world will not let it go. Ashburn continues the Storyteller series with a fast-moving thriller where history, technology, and faith collide-and where the past refuses to stay buried. Perfect for readers who enjoy historical mysteries, high-concept thrillers, and unforgettable heroes who refuse to surrender to fate.
