A book rumoured to have been written by Christ''s own hand. Hunted by a force of ancient evil, Dr Erin Granger and her two sons must follow the trail back thousands of years, to a time when ungodly beasts hunted the dark spaces of the world. And here they stumble across a secret sect within the Vatican, one whose existence was painted by Rembrandt himself. A shadowy order known simply as The Sanguines.
