Product Description

When a devastating earthquake in Masada Israel reveals a tomb buried in the heart of the mountain a trio of investigators
- Sergeant Jordan Stone a military forensic expert; Father Rhun Korza a Vatican priest; & Dr Erin Granger a brilliant archaeologist
- are sent to explore the macabre discovery a subterranean temple holding the crucified body of a mummified girl. But a brutal attack at the site sets the three on the run thrusting them in to a race to recover what was once preserved in the tomb's sarcophagus: a book rumoured to have been written by Christ's own hand a tome that is said to hold the secrets to His divinity. But the enemy who hounds them is like no other a force of ancient evil directed by a leader of impossible ambitions & incalculable cunning. From crumbling tombs to splendorous churches Erin & her two companions must confront a past that traces back thousands of years to a time when ungodly beasts hunted the dark spaces of the world to a moment in history when Christ made a miraculous offer a pact of salvation for those who were damned for eternity. Here is a novel that is explosive in its revelation of a secret history. Why do Catholic priests wear pectoral crosses? Why are they sworn to celibacy? & why does Catholicism insist that the consecration of wine during Mass results in its transformation to Christ's own blood? The answers go back to a secret sect within the Vatican one whispered as rumour but whose very existence was painted for all to see by Rembrandt himself a shadowy order known simply as the Sanguines.
