France in the year 1307. With the church’s blessing, King Philip IV orders the slaughter of the Holy Order of Knights. Three Esquire brothers manage to escape the carnage and make their way back to England but are tracked down and persecuted by agents of Rome. They and their families are stripped of their wealth and lands by the church.
From the brothers’ deep desire for revenge on Rome the Brotherhood is born.
England 2015. The face of somebody long thought to be dead appears one evening on the TV news. The news item reports that the man is the fifth person to be abducted by the notorious ISBJ in recent weeks and that he, along with six others, will be executed in the week leading up to Ramadan.
The man’s wife goes into shock at unexpectedly seeing her husband’s face on the TV news, but her training kicks in so she doesn’t panic. She knows that there will be many others around the globe who will be feeling as shocked as she is feeling right now. Some will even be terrified. Some will not survive the next few hours.
She understands that she can’t return to her home country where, very shortly, many people in the intelligence community would soon be in the hands of, and at the mercy of, the most vicious and terrible people imaginable. Those not rounded up would quickly disappear into the shadows to wait until it is safe for them to re-emerge. That is if it will ever be safe for them to do so ever again.
Within twenty minutes of the TV news programme being broadcast, meetings all across the globe are hastily convened to plan how they will either kill, capture or reacquire the man they thought was lost to them.
The Organisation activates its most ruthless Sentinels to locate their erstwhile employee. But who is on whose side? Who can they trust? Who can be trusted?
The resurrection of their former agent forces the Organisation to act in an effort to remain hidden in an increasingly transparent world. A world they have controlled for centuries. A world which is slipping like sand from between their tightening fingers. If their former agent should be rescued by ….. no, no, no, that is too terrible for the Organisation to contemplate.
But why is the Organisation so afraid of one man?
A storm is coming.
