Eight hundred years ago, a king's greed drowned in the marshes of The Wash...
But legends never stay buried. In the year 1216, King John of England-villain of the Robin Hood tales-lost his crown jewels and a kingdom's fortune to the treacherous tides. History records the treasure as gone forever. Yet whispers endure of secret scrolls, hidden by John himself, that reveal the true fate of his hoard. Centuries later, when Emily Hatton, a history teacher with a fighter's spirit, and her ex-military husband Frank purchase a dusty old bookshop in St Albans, they expect nothing more than a new start for their family. But their rebellious daughter Samantha uncovers something extraordinary: a leather-bound scroll sealed in wax, inscribed in mysterious Latin. It is the first clue in a deadly game of cat and mouse. As the Hattons follow the trail through abbeys, castles, and cathedrals, they are drawn into a race against ruthless French agents and a secret brotherhood known only as The Order. Every step brings danger. Every discovery brings them closer to the truth behind one of England's darkest legends. At stake is not just a hoard of lost gold, but the legacy of a king-and the future of those bold enough to seek it. And for Samantha Hatton, the youngest of the family, the scrolls reveal a destiny no one could have foreseen...
