THE LAST TEMPLAR: When four horsemen dressed as Knights Templar storm the Metropolitan Museum in New York on the opening night of an exhibition of Vatican treasures, stealing an arcane medieval artefact, they leave bloodshed in their wake. For FBI agent Sean Reilly and archaeologist Tess Chaykin, the hunt for the killers will take them right to the heart of a centuries-old mystery. THE SANCTUARY: Naples, 1750. Swordsmen burst into the palazzo of a marquis, demanding the secret he harbours - but their target flees. Baghdad, 2003: a US army unit discovers a lab where dozens have died from gruesome experiments. The mysterious bioweapons scientist they were tracking escapes, but a puzzling clue is left behind, carved into one of the cell walls: a circular symbol of a snake feeding on its own tail.

Thus begins a series of strange global events as the mystifying sign appears over warzones, natural disasters and terrorist atrocities. The world is full of fear and hope about what it portends, and all eyes are on the obscure monk who claims to know this sign...
