About this series
When King Henry of France and Pope Innocent decreed in the early fourteenth century the end of the Order of the Temple and burned alive their main leaders, they could not achieve one of their main objectives: to seize the Order´s treasure. It was shipped surreptitiously in the port of La Rochelle to the coast of Scotland, and from there it began a long journey throughout centuries, which led part of it to the shores of South America.
A child finds in a Patagonian beach some strange stones carved with text fragments written in Latin and a cross of eight points. As a consequence an arduous quest to uncover the fate of the treasure begins. One of the findings is the existence of descendants of the Knights Templar forming a millenarian brotherhood advocated by the values of their ancestors, based in remote areas of the Andean-Patagonian forests. The expedition is however detected by a group of large-scale predators of archaeological treasures acting internationally, led by a mysterious former KGB colonel. A bloody conflict bursts between the different factions.
