Explores the great 13th century mystery: Why was the body of St Francis stolen and hidden. This multi-layered, intricately plotted, historical tale investigates what caused the Franciscan Order to destroy all early biographies of Francis by his closest disciples in favour of a sanitised biography of the powerful St Bonaventure. The story begins 30 years after Francis death, when Father Leo, Francis' closest friend, is dying. Bound to a vow of silence, Leo sends a cryptic message to Conrad, his own favourite student, connecting him with an unlikely companion, 16-year old Sister Amata. The two begin to search for the truth about St Francis -- a truth that will shake the foundation of the Franciscan Order and the faith of the masses. With illustrations of St Francis and letters to Father Leo.
