At one level, this is the story of a covert war, of the secret organization known as The Brotherhood, and of the one man who stood at the center; a Swiss named Lord Otto de Grandson who became England's King Edward I's right-hand man. At another level, this is a spiritual story about Jesus' secret teachings that he reserved for the select few. This came to light with the discovery of the Naj Hammadi documents. These teachings became the Brotherhood's reason for being, why they fought their covert war against France's King Philip IV, and the motivation behind their quest for democracy that led to the creation of Switzerland, the French revolution, and the United States. This novel is a factual account of events, and a realistic depiction of what it was like to be a Knight Templar and of life in medieval times.
