Hunted by the seven deadly sins, two unlikely heroes must deliver a secret message across the Camino de Santiago before it's too late...

In this sequel to the award-winning novel, The Way: Through a Field of Stars, Princess Isabella of France must convince her father to give up his quest for the Knight Templars' most valued treasure and make amends with her enemy, Templar Grand Master Jacques de Molay, to save those she loves.

With Isabella and Molay both trapped in Paris, the weight of the world hangs on the shoulders of two unsuspecting nuns who are caught up in a game of control for the medieval world. Sister Fransie and Sister Caroline must flee France and smuggle the key to the Templars' greatest secret across the Camino de Santiago.

On their pilgrimage, the sisters are forced to face the seven deadly sins, which have taken on a physical form and threaten to stop them at every turn. Will the wisdom they learn on the Camino be enough for them to succeed? Or, will they fail to deliver their message before time runs out for the Templars?

Faced with unthinkable trials and life-altering lessons, this adventure is filled with mystery, humor, and self-discovery.

Even though this novel is a work of fiction, if you visit the Camino de Santiago today, you can still see the symbols and runes that inspired the secret Templar code, as well as the towns, cathedrals, and castles from the story.

The author, Brian John Skillen, is a professional filmmaker, author, and international dance instructor. His many adventures around the world have strongly influenced his life, but nothing has affected him more than his pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago. He was first inspired to write The Way: Through a Field of Stars after his pilgrimage in 2017 where he was told about a secret code of the Knights Templar in the cathedrals leading to Santiago. Since 2017, he has hiked over 1,000 miles across Spain doing research for the novel. He has walked the miles his characters have walked and learned the lessons they have learned. Most of the characters in the novel that aren't based on historical people are based on pilgrims Brian met on his Camino. This book is dedicated to them. "Buen Camino!"
