  It's 1926 and aspiring archaeologist Laetitia Talbot finds herself embroiled in a murderous conspiracy centuries in the making. Laetitia's joy at snaring a place in the excavation of an ancient church in Burgundy is dimmed by the recent death of her godfather Daniel. But then she starts to believe that Daniel Thorndon's fatal accident was nothing of the kind. Letty's investigation into Daniel's possible murder sends her on a journey back in time and into the orbit of a privileged French family harbouring its own damning secret. Encountering ancient Celtic mysteries and one sacred truth kept through the ages, Letty makes an explosive revelation that could rock the notion of faith itself - and may force a killer out of hiding.
