An ancient treasure. A secret order. Today - a desperate race for survival.

The unearthing of ancient Templar artefacts on a remote stretch of Scottish coastline raises exciting questions. What are the mystery objects? What is their origin? But for archaeologist Sam Cameron and his church minister companion Helen Johnson, the thrill of their discovery is only fleeting.

As news of the find spreads, it quickly attracts the interest of a secret organisation whose roots are as old as the mystery objects themselves. Only the organisation understands the artefacts’ true purpose and value; now it will stop at nothing to seize the find for itself.

The quest to solve the mystery swiftly descends into a desperate life and death struggle. A series of brutal murders trail the artefacts as the organisation’s servants close in. With each passing day, their merciless hunt intensifies.

Using every grain of their knowledge and experience, Sam and Helen strive to tease out the ancient Templar clues. Each success uncovers the smouldering embers of another long-lost secret. Each new revelation further fans the flames of a spreading rage of violence and death. Their only hope is to solve the complex mystery and drag medieval Europe’s greatest secret kicking and struggling into the light of day before they become the secret’s next victims.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

D. C. Macey is an author and lecturer based in the United Kingdom. A first career in the Merchant Navy saw Macey's early working life devoted to travelling the globe. In the process, it gave an introduction to the mad mix of beauty, kindness, cruelty and inequality that is the human experience everywhere. Between every frantic costal encounter was a trip across the ocean, which brought the contrast of tranquil moments and offered time for reading, writing and reflection. Those roving days came to a close, however, with Macey serving as a ship's officer in the North Sea oil industry. Several years working in business made it apparent that Macey's greatest commercial skill was the ability to convert tenners into fivers, effortlessly and unerringly, a skill that ensured Macey had the unwelcome experience of encountering those darker aspects of life that lie beneath the veneer of our developed world and brought fleeting glimpses into the shadows where bad things lurk. Eventually, life's turbulence, domestic tragedy and impending poverty demanded a change of course. As a result, the past decade and more has been spent in lecturing and producing predominantly corporate media resources, so allowing Macey the opportunity to return to the written word. Throughout it all Macey is certain that a happy home and laughter have proven time and again to be the best protection against life's trials.
