The “fascinating” #1 international bestseller of a quest across centuries by two intrepid women to reunite the pieces of a powerful, ancient chess set (Los Angeles Times Book Review). A fabulous, bejeweled chess set that belonged to Charlemagne has been buried in a Pyrenees abbey for a thousand years. As the bloody French Revolution rages in Paris, the nuns dig it up and scatter its pieces across the globe because, when united, the set contains a secret power that could topple civilizations. To keep the set from falling into the wrong hands, two novices, Valentine and Mireille, embark on an adventure that begins in the streets of Paris and leads to Russia, Egypt, Corsica, and into the heart of the Algerian Sahara. Two hundred years later, while on assignment in Algeria, computer expert Catherine Velis finds herself drawn unwillingly into the deadly “Game” still swirling around the legendary chess set—a game that will require her to risk her life and match wits with diabolical forces. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Katherine Neville including rare images from her life and travels.

Leonardo da Vinci died in 1519 at age sixty-four. He left behind a god-like reputation in art, engineering, and science. Shortly before Da Vinci's death, the Cardinal of Aragon and his secretary, Antonio de Beatis, visited the maestro. The churchmen observed four Da Vinci masterpieces: The Mona Usa; The Virgin and Child with St. Anne; St. John the Baptist, and a bare-breasted Madonna -Monna Vanna. DeBeatis said, "Signor Da Vinci, your painting is a profanation! It's carnality. It smacks of heresy and must be destroyed! Eccksia nonn novit sanguinem. The church burns those who would displease them." The "greatest genius of all time" devised a stratagem to preserve his topless masterwork. After his death, three of the paintings ended up in the Louvre-where they are exhibited today. As to the Monna Vanna, her whereabouts remained unknown for five centuries until an American art professor, Dov Markov, with the help of beautiful Mirielle Leclerc, of the French Art Loss Registry, embarked on a dangerous search for the lost Monna Vanna. They were forced to confront powerful antagonists: ruthless international art traffickers, Russian mafia, and a fanatical religious sect known as the 'Holy Madmen."

Is the traditional, accepted view of the life of Christ in some way incomplete? • Is it possible Christ did not die on the cross? • Is it possible Jesus was married, a father, and that his bloodline still exists? • Is it possible that parchments found in the South of France a century ago reveal one of the best-kept secrets of Christendom? • Is it possible that these parchments contain the very heart of the mystery of the Holy Grail? According to the authors of this extraordinarily provocative, meticulously researched book, not only are these things possible — they are probably true! so revolutionary, so original, so convincing, that the most faithful Christians will be moved; here is the book that has sparked worldwide controversey. "Enough to seriously challenge many traditional Christian beliefs, if not alter them." — Los Angeles Times Book Review "Like Chariots of the Gods?...the plot has all the elements of an international thriller." — Newsweek
