Together the writer and an old local woman unlock the secret of the seal and come to understand the entangled destiny that binds them. So who is this man? And what is the secret he carries? Nearly 700 years later, the answer comes by way of a writer who arrives at Lockenhaus Castle to research a book on the Templars. The man in question becomes embroiled in a Machiavellian world of spies, traps, the Inquisition and outward enemies, only finally to come face to face with the most cunning and terrible foe of all: the enemy that hides within. To save the Order, Jacques must entrust the ring to one man, a man unknown to history, a man whose task will be to take the seal through a world in ruins and out to the farthest edges of Europe.

The King of France and Pope Clement V are scheming to appropriate the most sacred and dangerous of all secrets held by the Order - a secret encrypted on the ring seal of Jacques de Molay, the Templar Grand Master. It is the year 1307, and the ancient Order of the Knights of Christ and the Temple of Solomon is in danger.
