An unyielding winter, an unforgiving foe; in the final push, only survival matters.
Jolted out of their holiday season calm, Helen Johnson and Sam Cameron find they must play one last hand in a deadly game. Now the hunt is on to unravel the last of the ancient codes that hide the incredible nature of the Templars' greatest secret.
The action races from the depths of northern winter to the sun-kissed beaches of North Africa. But time is running out. While Helen and Sam strive to piece together the final clues of the cunningly concealed Templar code, they must fend off murderous attacks from every side as their adversaries close in to snatch the ultimate prize.
It's a race against time to finally save themselves, their loyal friends and Christianity's greatest heritage. As the last cards are played, they will win or die.
This fourth book in The TEMPLE series may be read as a standalone. Some readers might also like to read the earlier books in the series, THE TEMPLE LEGACY, The TEMPLE SCROLL and THE TEMPLE COVENANT, since they can offer some backstory to characters and events featured here.
