Paul Doherty Libri

Inghilterra, 1522. Tra le pagine di un antico manoscritto, Nicholas Hopkins, monaco benedettino dell'abbazia di Glastonbury, rinviene un misterioso enigma. Secondo il monaco quelle parole indicano i luoghi dove si celano il Santo Graal e la leggendaria spada Excalibur. Ma le due reliquie, simboli di sacralità e di potere, fanno gola a molti. Primo fra tutti al sanguinario re Enrico VIII, ansioso di sancire la legittimità della dinastia Tudor. Ma anche alla setta dei Templari: un ordine sciolto da tempo, che segretamente continua a praticare i propri riti e sostiene la casata avversa, quella degli York. Tocca a Benjamin Daunbey, nipote del potente cardinale Wolsey, e al suo aiutante Roger Shallot trovare le reliquie per conto della Corona.
