What secret lies behind history's most famous shroud?
1291. In a Palestine gripped by chaos, a young nobleman mysteriously disappears. Unluckily for him, his face bears an astonishing resemblance to that of Christ in pious images. Relic traffickers will subject him to the torments of the Passion.
From Scotland, his sister sets out to find him. A frantic chase ensues, leading her to Upper Galilee, then to Baghdad, and into the Mongol Empire of the Great Khan of Persia.
How can the prisoner be snatched from the hands of his captors? And how can the cloth that covered his body be prevented from fraudulently passing as the Holy Shroud of Christ?
After the success of the Ernetti trilogy, Roland Portiche delivers a unique adventure novel, erudite and brimming with imagination.
