'Pip Vaughan-Hughes has given us a monk, a corpse, a sinister Templar and a terrific adventure that romps across mediaeval Christendom' Bernard Cornwell
The stunning sequel to RELICS - and on a truly monumental scale...
In the darkness of 13th Century Europe, the most precious treasures of the Christian world lie in a small church in the great ruined city of Constantinople: the crown of thorns, the spear that pierced Jesus' side, the shroud bearing the imprint of Christ.
On the other side of the globe, Petroc of Auneford sails into the sprawling Pool of London for the first time. He has left his old monastic world behind for that of the enigmatic Captain de Montalhac - purveyor of fine relics and other exotic trinkets to anyone with sufficient money and desire.
For Petroc, the trip is soon blighted by tragedy, but grief is no guard against greed or rumour. The great powers of Christendom are gathering ... all covet the power of the most precious relics - and Petroc finds himself right in the eye of the storm.

Review:
Gripping narrative and so steeped in atmosphere you can almost smell what they're up to, Pip's pulled out another corker in what will surely be a long line of epic books. (SUNDAY SPORT)
¿ a complex and geographically wide ranging novel that sweeps through early mediaeval Europe¿ The finely woven plot, although complex, never confuses the reader... (CRIME SQUAD)
Vaughan-Hughes has a fine feel for the heat, the flies and the rank oppression of life in the Middle Ages but he also captures the verve, the unpredictability and the sheer courage of the people who made a living out of a harsh world. A wonderful adventure story. (LANCASHIRE EVENING POST)
An absorbing, exciting tale (GOOD BOOK GUIDE)
