The Runestone Code

Seasoned Canadian survivalist Pierre Pannetier unearths a runestone-evidence of a forgotten Norse settlement and inscriptions pointing to a long-lost treasure. To decipher it, he turns to Katya, a brilliant but introverted Swedish anthropologist whose expertise reveals something far more dangerous than buried gold. The rune markings point to a stolen document of immense power: a secret treaty once forged between Rome and Constantinople, capable of shaking the foundations of the Christian world.
Missing for nearly a thousand years, the treaty was taken during a violent Viking raid-and its resurfacing could expose truths the Kremlin is determined to erase. When Moscow learns of the discovery, elite operatives are dispatched to silence Pierre and Katya. Hunted across Europe, the unlikely duo must unravel the clues left by the Vikings of 1077 and uncover a secret that could destabilize the Russian Orthodox Church-and ignite a geopolitical crisis.
