Synopsis

"... an astonishing work of speculative non-fiction." - from the Foreword by John Robert Colombo "... a Grail tale to beat them all." - Mike Strobel, The Toronto Sun Swords at Sunset is Michael Bradley's bestselling non-fiction exploration of Holy Grail adventurers in North America from 1398 to 1571 (the author's research skills were also put to good use in the movie The Da Vinci Code). Bradley draws on evidence in The Book of Mormon and recently discovered artefacts from Lake Memphremagog and Niagara region to offer a convincing argument that communities of Grail refugees - who had fled the Inquisition in Europe - were established in Niagara and Vermont before being defeated by Native tribes in 1571. Swords at Sunset also examines the origins of man and the concept of the Holy Grail, offering a new and different perspective of the Western religious history that has shaped so much of the entire world's history. The book presents a thought-provoking interpretation that will astonish and intrigue.
