Description
The Devil's Lance: Book II of The Devilstone Chronicles By Richard Anderton In 16th-century Europe, the Holy Lance, a sacred Christian relic, is coveted by kings and emperors seeking to guarantee victory in battle. As war clouds gather over the Danube, three powerful leaders - the French King, the Ottoman Sultan, and a feared warlord claiming descent from Vlad 'the Impaler' - vie for possession of this legendary symbol of royal power. English alchemist and adventurer Thomas Devilstone is drawn into their quest. Set against the backdrop of the epic Ottoman-Hapsburg Wars, The Devil's Lance follows Thomas as he battles traitors, spies, and the mysterious Order of the Dragon in his pursuit of honour and glory. With the sinister Grand Master of the Order, Lord Dracul, hot on his heels, Thomas must navigate treacherous alliances and ancient rivalries to succeed. Will Thomas and the men of the Devil's Band manage to steal the Holy Lance, or will they fall prey to the Order of the Dragon's sinister plans?
