Synopsis

Nathan Gudin is an archeologist responsible for the preservation and discovery of artifacts on Mont-Saint-Michel. He learns there are people on the Mont with an ancient history who have a connection to a cult of St. Michael the Archangel. Among them, Nathan associates with an enigmatic Benedictine monk, a mysterious man who seems connected to the ancient Bayeaux tapestry, and a young woman who appears when he needs help. Nathan aids the monk in retrieving an Accord that indicates a direct connection between the monk’s friends and St. Michael. 
The history of Mont-Saint-Michel and its setting provide a unique background for a fictional mystery that is woven into factual historical accounts and filled with puzzling characters. Readers will be motivated to fact check the historical episodes and to ponder the ultimate resolution of the story.
