Escaping incognito, he joins two strangers—Nicholas Marten and the beautiful but enigmatic French photo-journalist, Demi Picard. Swept from Warsaw to Washington, D.C. to Malta to Barcelona, the three of them flee a ruthless clique of military leaders and transnational corporate chieftains—as well as top Washington officials—all of whom want them dead. . . The assassination of world leaders, the massacre of millions, assaults on the US with weapons of mass destruction—nothing is beyond the coterie's cunning. The group's origins go back 500 years.

Bonded by vicious rites and ritual slaughter, dedicated to their vision of global rule, they have over the centuries prospered beyond dreams of greed and domination.
