In the tradition of Ted Dekker's The Lost Books and Michael Scott's The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, a new hero arises-one that will challenge centuries of Druidic power. Since Stonehenge, the ancient and mystery-shrouded Druids have been ghostly hunters, infiltrating the highest power circles of each new conqueror of Britain. Merlin himself was a Druid, until rebelling against them. He established his own line of descendants, bequeathing them the power and knowledge to hunt the Druids. It is a dark time in medieval Europe. A young man, Thomas, journeys to an isolated castle, unaware of his ancestry, roots that stretch back to the Byzantine empire. Thomas doesn't realize that he carries the secrets needed to reconquer the castle for the Merlins. At stake is the direction of mankind's future because the Druids have the ability to end all progress in science, medicine and technology, thus ensuring the Dark Ages continue for centuries more.
