One of four intricately wrought seals – each holding a secret within – it can, when combined with the other three, bring great wealth and power. This power is her true inheritance – but it’s a perilous legacy others will kill for ...

All or mr Cornwell's books are exelent and exciting read's, he can pull you into the storie and his knowledge of historical facts shows his passion for his art . A master of the historical epic tale, like the grail quest, and his take on the Arthurian legend was very good. This trilogy should in my opinion be on the silver screen . So read on my friends and enjoy ,greedily waiting to turn over each page. Or should I say listen and enjoy THANKYOU MR CORNWELL THANKYOU INDEED .☆☆☆☆☆
