Synopsis
The fourth volume opens with a question: does the origin of the largest lake near Cologne trace back to a prophecy fulfilled in 1341, the year the Knight of Kosigan may have unleashed powers beyond his control? Five centuries later, the fate of his descendants plays out in the cellar of a Parisian bistro. The secrets revealed in the story are presented as dangerous, and anyone who uncovers them becomes implicated. The novel is the fourth volume of the historical fantasy series and the last of its first cycle, bringing the two timelines together around a closely guarded historical secret.
