As William the Conqueror's men attempt to stamp out the flames of rebellion, a prophecy is uttered. A bedraggled woman in a ruined chapel speaks of civilizations in conflict, armed by the engines of God...

And that prophecy proves to be true as the fearsome war between Christianity and Islam leaves its mark across the land. In Spain, a rogue priest dreams of the final defeat of Islam, for he has found a rent in the tapestry of time, a point where agents from the future used diabolical weapons of destruction to change history. Centuries later, in 1492, as men of vision weary of the strife and are drawn to the unknown West, one such explorer seeks the funding for his voyage- while a mysterious Weaver plots to unravel the strands of time and stop him.

XIV Weary from the heat and light, Orm and Sihtric sat in the shade of an awning and sipped water laced with lemon juice. They looked out over the scaffolding that encased the arbalest. Sihtric said, ‘The principles are simple, but the devil.

Discuss all this further, he gathered up his documents and made his way to bed, his head buzzing with the enigma of the Incendium Dei, the Fire of God. XIII Among Subh’s many admirable qualities was an antipathy to wasting time. And so, on only his second day in Seville, Peter was to meet Moorish scholars who would inspect the fragmentary weapons plans he had retrieved from the wreckage of the schemes of long-dead Sihtric. He was in no state for this, with his hair and skin caked with dust.

Incomplete on the scrap of parchment you held.’ ‘Incendium Dei,’ Saladin said, wide-eyed. Joan stared at Bacon. ‘Can it really be as simple as that?’ Bacon grinned. He now had a full hold on their attention, Saladin thought, and he knew it. ‘Shall we try it?’ He wiped the table clean of chalk with his sleeve, and began to scribble again. The three of them bent over to see. ‘We begin with the key,’ Bacon said. He wrote, INCENDIVM DEI ‘The U replaced by V as you see. Next we eliminate.

Would want her?’ He slammed one fat fist into another. ‘But it’s still theft, that’s the top and bottom of it. So what are you going to do about it, “vizier to the vizier”?’ Ibrahim’s thirst raged, though there were hours to endure before his next sip of his water ration. He felt fouled by this grubby case, like so many others he had had to deal with. It was all the fault of the Christians. The Castilians had lain siege around the city in the spring, when King Fernando had assembled a fleet of.

Week after the Moors’ capitulation, James and Grace were able to enter Ronda. Walking in from the Christian army camp they passed a complex of buildings, arched roofs and domes, sheltering in the lee of the smashed city walls. It turned out to be a bathhouse; a marshy, steamy stink lingered in the air around it.
