If you’re a fan of Dan Brown, you’ll love Dormant Angels—a gripping historical thriller packed with real locations, ancient secrets, and pulse-pounding suspense. Every building, street, and document in this novel is factually accurate, grounding a tale of supernatural evil in the very real world we know.
When archaeologist Albert Whitfield uncovers five mysterious copper tablets buried beneath Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, he believes he’s found the discovery of a lifetime. But what he’s unearthed is far more than a historical treasure—it’s a ritual, hidden for centuries, capable of banishing a malevolent force long thought to be myth: the Dormant Angels.
As global chaos quietly escalates and omens mount, Whitfield learns the ritual must be performed by three holy men—and time is running out.
With help from Jennifer, a brilliant historian and the woman he loves, and Father Robles, a Jesuit priest with prophetic insights, Whitfield embarks on a desperate mission across Europe and into the shadowed corridors of the Vatican.
But they’re not the only ones seeking the tablets. A secretive, sinister figure known only as The Collector will stop at nothing to harness their power for himself—even if it means plunging the world into darkness.

Fred Oliver never expected to become a writer, especially in his sixties! His debut novel, Dormant Angels, brings together the influence of a multitude of elements from his personal and professional life. His travels throughout Europe and the Middle East have impressed in him how international events affect us all. Dormant Angels, no doubt, will be the subject of intellectual and spiritual debate.
In 2024, Oliver had set his mind on giving something of value to the world: his storytelling. Life is full of controversy. Religious and political beliefs have always divided mankind. The Catholic Church, like all human institutions, has changed through time. And like all human institutions, the Church has never been perfect, but today, what matters is the message of unity and brotherhood that it is putting forward.
