THE FATE OF MAN IS IN THE HANDS OF ONE WOMAN
In the historic Turkish city of Ruin, American journalist Liv Adamsen
wakes up in an isolation ward. She knows she entered Ruin's forbidden
ancient Citadel, but remembers only darkness.
A strange whisper within says she is `the key': but to what?
For the desperate fanatics inside the Citadel, only her return can
secure their survival. Charity worker Gabriel Mann, meanwhile, believes
Liv could unlock mankind's most profound mystery.
And for a powerful global faction, Liv's silence - at any cost - is all
that matters. Hunted across continents, Gabriel and Liv approach an
explosive discovery - one that will tear them apart and change the world
forever… Praise for SANCTUS:
'A cool, confident debut … with pace, grace and a keen eye for
cinematic effect'
DAILY TELEGRAPH
'Intriguing and engaging … Relentless pace. An exciting and interesting
read. I look forward to returning to Ruin, where there are plenty of
stories waiting to be told'
THE SUN
'High concept, debut conspiracy thrillers don't come with higher
expectations than this. Hard to think of it as a debut, better to think
of it as the beginning of a massive new adventure, and a so-long to Dan Brown'
MIRROR
'A fast moving, thoroughly enjoyable, adventure - plenty of action,
plenty of intrigue and a wonderfully imaginative reinterpretation of a
slice of religious history. The sort of novel to devour in one sitting'
KATE MOSSE
'The stellar first in a trilogy … The truly mind-boggling revelation
will leave astounded readers eager for the next instalment'
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY In 2007 Simon Toyne quit his job and moved to France
to fulfil a long-held desire to write a thriller. After a sleepless
night crossing the channel, he and his family abandoned a planned
eight-hour drive to their new home and limped instead to the city of
Rouen. It was the sight of the sharp spire of Rouen Cathedral piercing
the pre-dawn sky that gave birth to the fiction Citadel of SANCTUS.
SANCTUS, his first novel, became an immediate bestseller. To date it
has been translated into 23 languages and published in 40 countries.
