New York: ROC, (2007) dj. Hardcover first edition - A contemporary fantasy novel by this award-winning writer, but a story with its roots deep in the past. "Fifteen-year-old Canadian Ned Marriner accompanies his famous photographer father, Edward, on a shoot at Aix-en-Provence's Saint-Saveur Cathedral while his physician mother, Meghan, braves the civil war zone in Sudan with Doctors Without Borders. As Ned explores the old cathedral, he meets Kate Wenger, a geeky but attractive American girl who's a walking encyclopedia of history. In the ancient baptistry, the pair are surprised by a mysterious, scarred man wielding a knife who warns that they've 'blundered into a corner of a very old story. It is no place for children.' But Ned and Kate can't avoid becoming dangerously entangled in a 2,500-year-old love triangle among mythic figures." (Publishers Weekly) 421 pp. ISBN: 978-0451461292.
