A mysterious package arrives on Bryony St. Blaze's doorstep, and after opening it, she knows instinctively that her life is about to change forever. For inside, she finds her father's research, gathered from his years of devoted study to an ancient, magical book. After reading the material, Bryony is forced to conclude that her father's death was no accident. He was deliberately murdered by a secret order known as the "Abbey of the Divine" --- a clandestine, surviving sect of the once-famous Knights Templar --- who are after the missing book. Now, determined to track down the killers herself, Bryony travels to Scotland to find Hamish Neville, a historian with whom her father had an ongoing correspondence. After an attempt is made on Bryony's life, she and Hamish are forced to go into hiding, completely dependent on each other for their very survival. Piece by piece, fleeing across Britain to the Continent and the Middle East, they painstakingly assemble the puzzle to locate the lost book. But time is running out. Can Bryony and Hamish unlock the mysteries of the hidden treasure before the Abbey of the Divine catches up with them?
