The Larion spell table has been dormant for nearly a thousand Twinmoons. It waits in a forgotten chamber in Sandcliff Palace, the abandoned Larion Senate stronghold on Eldarn's North Sea. The spell table holds the power to see the people of the five lands safely through the oppression and brutality that have haunted them for generations, but without Lessek's key it is a worthless slab of granite - and Lessek's key itself is just a nondescript stone Steven Taylor and Mark Jenkins overlooked on the night they fell through the far portal into Eldarn. Retrieving the key and freeing Eldarn's people rests with Steven Taylor, the would-be sorcerer from Colorado, who is racing across America with Nerak, the fallen Larion dictator, hot on his heels. Steven must reach Idaho Springs and find Lessek's key before it falls into Nerak's hands and is lost for ever - and with it, the lives of untold millions, in both of Steven's worlds.

Historické pravd o Rytířích Templu se neoddělitelně mísí s mýty, které přecházejí ze století do století. Templáři byli jako kacíři rozprášení před sedmi sty let. Ale počínaje svobodnými zednáři až po Ordo Templi Orientis se hierarchické tajné společnosti západního světa hlásí jako ke svému zdroji k tomuto náboženskému řádu mnichů-válečníků. Ten byl zřízen k ochraně křesťanských poutníků, toužících navštívit místo, kde se narodil jejich spasitel a odkud vzešla jejich víra.

The ancient Knights Templar, once wielding immense wealth and power, vanished during the Inquisition, leaving their hidden treasures lost. Now, two factions competing for this treasure have uncovered its true nature, which could transform the modern world. Cotton Malone, a former U.S. Justice Department operative turned antiquarian book dealer in Copenhagen, is drawn back into a dangerous world when his former supervisor, Stephanie Nelle, is attacked during a mission unrelated to national security. She possesses vital clues to ancient puzzles across Europe, aiming to solve a mystery that has captivated scholars and treasure hunters for centuries: the legendary wealth and forbidden knowledge of the Templars, thought lost after their destruction in the fourteenth century. However, she faces competition from Raymond de Roquefort, a shadowy zealot commanding a ruthless army of assassins, who is desperate for the information Stephanie holds. Cotton, unwilling to remain on the sidelines, joins the fray, but as he delves deeper into the ancient conspiracy, he realizes that much more than lives are at stake. In this lethal race filled with intrigue and treachery, a shocking discovery awaits that could either save or doom the civilized world, depending on who wields it.
