FROM THE BACK PAGE

In Medieval England, the defence of the realm in times of need rested on the shoulders of twelve knights – a secret order who swore to protect the people at all costs . . .


They were called The White Hart . . .

As they are now . . .

1386:
As the Black Death devastates Europe, scholars across the continent strive to uncover its mysterious origins. Tales from the East warn of an unspeakable evil that causes death to all who encounter it.

Only a select few know the truth.

Present Day: The Archbishop of Canterbury is murdered in his own cathedral, the victim of a violent raid that also targeted the library and archives. CCTV footage confirms the theft of a recently discovered fragment of a medieval manuscript, believed to be a lost work by Geoffrey Chaucer. Along with the kidnapping of its discoverer.

For Cambridge University academic Dr Sarah Amesbury, events at Canterbury are just the start of her day from hell. As the news of the murder and robbery sinks in, her house and office are ransacked, and she finds herself running for her life.

A deadly secret remains hidden from the wider world, one that some of the most dangerous people on the planet intend to unleash. Armed only with the parts of Amesbury’s research that the thieves overlooked and a previously unknown story from The Canterbury Tales, the White Hart’s Mike Hansen and Kit Masterson face a race against time to uncover the truth behind the archbishop’s murder. Their success could save millions of lives.

However, only by uncovering the complete Chaucer Manuscript can they prevent history from repeating itself.
