Two Books, Two Deep Dives into Hidden History
During the conversation, John Edwards shared important updates on not one, but two major book releases.
📘 Codes of the Hidden King
Co-authored with Gretchen Cornwall and William Russell, Codes of the Hidden King traces the secret power struggles of the Age of Exploration. It explores cryptography, symbolism, and covert networks operating behind the thrones of Western Europe, revealing how knowledge, lineage, and encoded intelligence shaped the modern world.
William Russell brings his formidable expertise as a Baconian code-breaker and researcher to the project. Russell draws a persuasive line under the Authorship Question, a debate that’s lasted since the mid 1800s… His knowledge of history, deep maths, and codes is an indelible mastery of the broad subjects involved in this inquiry.
While Gretchen Cornwall, as lead writer, contributes her extensive research into medieval history, the Knights Templar, and 1st-century mysteries, she also draws on her long-standing work connected to The Curse of Oak Island as well as the Amazon Prime series, Templars with Luca Centoni. She has blended the work of all three authors into Codes of the Hidden King.
The second publication announced last night:
📗 The Ark of Oak Island
Authored by John Edwards and Edited by Jake Roberts, The Ark of Oak Island and the Riddle of Rennes-le-Château presents groundbreaking research that stretches beyond Nova Scotia and into the enduring mysteries of Rennes-le-Château. The book weaves together history, symbolism, and documentary evidence in a way that expands the Oak Island story into the heart of Cathar country in Southern France.
Voices from the War Room and Beyond
John Edwards is a familiar and respected returning researcher on The Curse of Oak Island, while Jake Roberts is deeply steeped in Oak Island history, codes, and a valued behind-the-scenes researcher, contributing to the War Room’s investigative depth. Their conversation reflected years of shared inquiry, mutual respect, and a genuine passion for uncovering what lies beneath accepted narratives.

Edwards, Cornwall, and Russell also took a moment to extend their congratulations to Jake Roberts on the release of his own new book:
Oak Island Decrypted: The Rosicrucian Garden of Eden
This latest work represents a significant contribution to Oak Island scholarship and continues Jake’s long commitment to rigorous, creative, and courageous historical research.
