Więcej o książce

From A. L. Shields, the pseudonym of New York Times best-selling author Stephen L. Carter, comes a thrilling sequel to The Church Builder, exploring the age-old conflict between the enemies of God and the champions of faith. At the center of the story is Bethany Barclay, who is on the run from international authorities and fighting against the Wilderness, a powerful cabal intent on destroying Christianity. After the Wilderness murdered her best friend and framed her for terrorism, Bethany is determined to rescue a brilliant teen hacker she promised to protect. To do so, she must locate the Pilate Stone, a rumored artifact that could either validate Christ's miracles or label him a fraud. However, she is not alone in her search, as the international landscape is filled with double agents, making it hard to distinguish allies from enemies. The Garden, a secret group aiming to save the Church, is faltering under the Wilderness's growing influence, and Bethany's only ally, Ray Fuentes, faces his own challenges. As she traverses Europe, Bethany encounters a complex web of academics and a reclusive monastic order, revealing a dangerous game where some seek to uphold faith while others aim to destroy it, including her own. This gripping narrative is filled with unexpected twists and challenges readers to rethink their perspectives.
