For Maeve's sake and driven by her own obsessions, she races across Europe in pursuit of the ancient epistles. She knows the enemy is close on her heels. What she doesn't know is that he belongs to a powerful, real-life American cabal that has joined forces with the most fanatical members of the Knights of Malta. Their reach is vast-and deadly.
