1565; In its hour of greatest need Malta must rely upon the ancient Knights of the Order of St John for survival. Bound by the strongest ties: of valour of courage and of passion the Knights must defend their island against ferocious and deadly Ottoman attack. For Sir Thomas Barrett summoned by the Order and compelled by loyalty - to the Knights to his honour and to his Queen - returning to the besieged island means revisiting a past he had long since lain to rest. As the beleaguered Knights grapple to retain control decade-old feuds will be reawakened intense passions rekindled and deadly secrets revealed.
