Think Gladiator and Game of Thrones with a main character akin to 007 set against the backdrop of the greatest war known to man. This is a gripping action packed adventure. Our hero, Mattias Tannhauser is a real man: confident, tall, craggily good looking, morally upstanding and a lethal killing machine.
The greatest war the world has ever seen is unleashed on the doomed island as the Turks do battle with the Knights. The Turks call them the Hounds of Hell.
Back in Sicily, the beautiful, rich Carla pines for her bastard son, lost in the bloody inferno across the water.
Enter Mattias Tannhauser – warrior, hero and double agent.
Their god is War. And every god needs his Devil. THE RELIGION

Enter Mattias Tannhauser – warrior, hero and double agent. Under Carla’s command, he embarks on a death-defying mission to save her son. But can he evade the Inquisition and escape to run the Turkish blockade to victory in time?
