BOOK ONE
Stephen's epic adventure is proceeded by the final days of Constantinople, 1453, as 7,000 inhabitants defend against an army of over 100,000. The historical value of Book One does well to inform the reader as to the way in which the siege came to be successful, and how the defenders held their position so heroically. The characters of fictional value provide great momentum and interest to the story, doing justice to history, never for an instant depriving it of substance.
BOOK TWO
Just yesterday, Stephen was fighting to defend The City of God against the Muslim invaders; now, in the pursuing days, where living is as fierce by night, as it is by day, he must fight to preserve that, which he does not fully understand.
Will he be delivered salvation? Will he secure a fuller understanding of his place in life? His first step of many is to provide aid to others, but over the coming days he must make decisions that will affect the future of mankind, not just the souls he has pledged to protect. The very religion that he holds so dear to his heart will be questioned, as too will the motives behind his decisions. Káros holds the key, the key to everlasting life, the key to the rules of life, and life's meaning. It is for him to decide what will become of his future, and of the Christian religion. At any cost, he must preserve that which he has been passed onto him; the secret of the chest; and above all, the key must always be protected and never surrendered.
BOOK THREE
Stephen, the Knights of the Hospital, and the thirteen orphans, continue with their harsh voyage to the shores of a town called Barcelona, where a ferocious storm greets them, and tragic events begin to unfold. Something so unbelievable is discovered by Stephen as he befriends Father Ambaedian of Barcelona, a 1500 year-old mystery being discovered for what it is and the truth that it hides. Where is the final resting place of the Cross of Christ? What power does it hold? What other name is it known by? What is to become of the thirteen orphans and the knights so bold?
BOOK FOUR
This final book is the work of fiction, the story of the creation of the women warriors and El Dorado, and a story of Spanish explorers travelling the Amazon River. Tales of El Dorado and the Amazons have flooded the world. Why is it that the Spanish never encountered the true city of the Amazons, or did they?
Stories rose upon the tongue of the Spanish invader of a man covered in gold, the Golden Prince. And what is the link between the Golden Prince and the women warriors of the Amazon?
Where did the stories come from? This fictional account of the travels of Orellana and Carvajal offers a simple solution to a puzzle that simply cannot be solved: and for what reason?
