The Vault of Bones

In the darkness of 13th Century Europe, the most precious treasures of the Christian world—including the crown of thorns, the spear that pierced Jesus' side, and the shroud bearing the imprint of Christ—lie in a small church in the great ruined city of Constantinople. On the other side of the globe, Petroc of Auneford sails into the sprawling Pool of London for the first time, having left his old monastic world behind for that of the enigmatic Captain de Montalhac, a purveyor of fine relics and other exotic trinkets. Petroc's trip is soon blighted by tragedy, but grief is no guard against greed or rumour. As the great powers of Christendom gather, all coveting the power of the most precious relics, Petroc finds himself right in the eye of the storm. Stretching from the streets of London to the brothels of Venice and all the way to the ruined palaces of Constantinople, The Vault of Bones is an epic tale of faith, power, money and revenge.
