From the award-winning author of 'Century', a beautifully written mystery that intertwines history and the supernatural.
At the time of the Crusades,in the deserts of North Africa, a band of knights received a lily from an angel to help them defeat their enemies in a holy war.
But over the centuries, the lily's mysterious power has warped and darkened, leaving instability and death in its wake. Now, three children must combine forces to reverse the curse that has befallen generations of their families. Miranda, Jacinth and Jack live in different lands -- connected, but without knowing how. Each is linked to a descendant of the crusader knights -- and each has a duty to unravel the mystery of the lily that gave the knights such amazing powers all those years ago. But a renegade ancestor is determined to retain the lily's power and influence for himself, whatever the cost -- and the three of them are in terrible danger...
