What do you do when youใปยใปve discovered a secret that is likely to turn the worldใปยใปs religions against each other, igniting a powder-keg of already simmering hostilities?For half a millennium that secret has lain in a journal hidden in the highlands of Ethiopia, a legacy of the 1520 Portuguese expedition into the uncharted interior. The Portuguese had been searching for the fabled lands of Prester John of the Indies, but one of their number, Tristan Perreira, had found something far more momentous. In 1535, Tristan finds himself destined to lead the people of the city of Axum in a fight for survival against the invading Moors from the east, and most of all a fight to protect the sacred Ark of the Covenant.
