1539: As the Dissolution wreaks havoc on England’s monasteries, a loyal brotherhood of monks goes into hiding. Among their hoard is a collection of legendary relics said to date back to the time of Christ. For almost two thousand years, their very existence has been closely guarded . . .

Five centuries after their disappearance, what became of them remains a mystery.

Present day: when Deputy Director of the White Hart, Ian Atkins, goes missing, the last thing Mike Hansen and Kit Masterson anticipate is possible misdemeanours. However, when news comes to light that Atkins was last seen visiting retired physicist Lord Newton – a descendant of the legendary Sir Isaac – an unlikely trail emerges.

While Masterson is assigned the task of locating Atkins, Mike Hansen’s instruction to do the same for Newton includes the added complication of shadowing the errant peer’s next of kin: London banker Rebecca Harchester, with whom he has a complicated past. When Harchester becomes the victim of a violent kidnapping, Hansen’s own past and present seem destined to collide.

An ancient code conceals a priceless treasure: one with the potential to unlock the very secrets of humanity. Guided by clues penned by Sir Isaac Newton and a copy of the legendary Excalibur, Mike and Rebecca have no choice but to form an awkward alliance and attempt to decipher the code. A deadly enemy will stop at nothing to obtain it. Yet if the White Hart is to succeed, they face one further problem . . .
