Synopsis

What mystery hides behind the crumbling face of Sweet-Briar Hall? In a small provincial town on the Cheshire plains three adolescents stumble upon a secret with devastating implications. The time is 1919 and following the Great War to end all wars the strange arrival of agents from foreign powers threatens the survival of one of the world's greatest dynasties and the lives of the innocent youngsters ensnared in a web of intrigue. A daring escape from imprisonment and certain death, in a land far away, one year earlier brings one youngster together with his military father in another rescue. Events build to a climax that culminates in a savage encounter in the subterranean passage ways beneath an ancient church. In the desperate struggle more is at stake than personal survival - the stability of Europe and the world may depend on it!
