A Templar master and a secret to be guarded. A Pope dominated by a king. These are the characters that compose the history of this novel. The story is set in France on 1300, when a Pope is elected on willing of the king. The facts will be outlined as they will go by, showing the intrigue plotted by the sovereign towards the Templar order of chivalry. By the help of his advisers, men without scruples, he will build every moment of the persecution. All seems dictated by the avidity and by the cupidity of King Philip, but this is not enough to justify the fury of this last one. Other determined strengths participate in this bloodthirsty game without revealing themselves, following darker intentions; they look for the attainment of their purpose with every means. Intrigues, wars, tortures and a love story are mixed making the novel a fascinating story of faith, courage and honour.
