Some secrets are too great to bear...

Holliday immediately sets out to locate and rescue her. But Peggy's captors belong to the Brotherhood of the Temple of Isis - murderous fanatics who worship a dead god.

A trail of clues sends Holliday deep into Africa and into the heart of a conspiracy involving an ancient Egyptian legend and the darkest secrets of the Order of Templar Knights.

Secrets that, once uncovered, are a death warrant . . .
