To help reconcile the horrors he witnessed in the Holy Land, Hugo de Payen is sent on a quest to find the Ark of the Covenant. Abbot Bernard of Clairvaux warns Hugo and his fledgling knights of the malevolent cult that will stop at nothing to reach the Ark first and inflict a terrible vengeance across the Holy Land. The future of Christianity is at stake as rumours of a holy relic in Lydda gather pace, sparking a race that leads down to the poisonous depths of the church crypt. The discovery could elevate the faith to new heights. Or destroy Christendom forever. The unremitting conflict between Hugh Bigod and his brother William reaches new depths and the deadliest maritime disaster of the medieval age sends their lives spiralling out of control, leaving Hugh to face a momentous life and death decision.
