SWORD OF KINGSIn the dead of night, Ronan Frost's phone shatters the silence—a desperate plea from Tony Denison, his former commanding officer now running for his life.
Denison's dangerous obsession with Arthurian legends has made him a marked man. He claims agents of a shadowy New World Order conspiracy are hunting him to prevent his discovery of the Crocea Mors—Caesar's legendary sword, possibly the very blade Arthur pulled from the stone to claim his destiny.
Frost dismisses most of Denison's breathless theories as paranoid fantasy. But one fact remains professional killers are closing in. Despite his scepticism, Frost's loyalty runs bone-deep. He'll stand with Denison against whoever's coming—no matter the cost.
Across London, Sir Charles Wyndham makes a fateful decision. As head of the secretive Ogmios Team, he dispatches his most trusted operative, Konstantin Khavin, to investigate the assassination attempt—only to uncover a chilling the British government itself wants Denison eliminated at any cost.
With Frost now entangled in Denison's desperate flight, Sir Charles faces an impossible choice that will haunt him abandon Frost to the wolves, or sacrifice Ogmios—the organization he built with his own blood and sweat.
Some loyalties, once broken, can never be repaired. And Sir Charles is about to sever one forever.
