Description
In 1347, war and unrest ravage Europe. Thomas of Hookton, driven by a quest for justice, finds himself entangled in a deadly pursuit for the Holy Grail. With the help of an ancient trail that leads him to Durham, he must confront his enemies on the battlefields of the Hundred Years' War. As Thomas navigates treacherous landscapes and battles fierce foes, he discovers a new companion and faces a sinister enemy in a Dominican Inquisitor. The fate of Christendom's most precious relic hangs in the balance, and Thomas must outwit his rivals to claim it first. With a mysterious notebook that holds the key to the Grail's location, Thomas embarks on a perilous journey that will test his courage and wits. The Battle of la Roche-Derrien looms ahead, and Thomas faces his enemies once more in one of the bloodiest fights of the Hundred Years' War. Will he succeed in his quest, or will the forces of darkness prevail?
