A TEMPLAR CURSE
AN ANCIENT PROPHECY
A PULSE-POUNDING RACE AGAINST TIME
In 1314, Jacques de Molay, the last Templar Grand Master, uttered a curse as he burned at the stake. Within months, both men responsible for his downfall, the King of France, and the Pope, lay dead.
Centuries later, a Templar descendant discovers the key to unleashing the curse's power: The legendary Seal of Solomon. Learning of the relic's power, he plans a cataclysmic event which will return civilization to the Dark Ages.
Enter Eden Black. As the countdown begins, Eden is thrust into a web of intrigue that spans centuries, from the final days of the Knights Templar to the shadowy activities of a modern secret society.
But, learning just how deep this conspiracy goes, and who exactly is involved, Eden realizes things are much more deadly than she first thought.
From the crypt of a long-dead Templar knight, to the shifting sands of the Sahara, and on to the palaces of Portugal, she uncovers shocking truths about her own destiny and the role she must play in the coming apocalypse.
With heart-pounding action, characters you'll fall in love with, and a plot that will leave you breathless, The Templar Enigma is a must-read for fans of Dan Brown, Steve Berry, Ernest Dempsey, and Nick Thacker.

The Templar Enigma Frequently Asked Questions:
What is The Templar Enigma about?
It opens in Paris in 1314 with the execution of Jacques de Molay and his famous curse. In the present day, Eden Black encounters William Wolff, Grand Master of the Order of the All-Seeing Eye, a secret society that sees itself as heir to the Templars. Wolff plans to use the Seal of Solomon to unleash disasters across the globe, then emerge as humanity's saviour. A riddle on an ancient parchment sends Eden racing across Europe and deep into the Sahara to stop him.
What is the Seal of Solomon?
A legendary golden ring, said to have been used by King Solomon to build his temple, master the weather and command demons. In the novel, the founding Templars discovered it beneath the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and hid it in a secret vault in Portugal after Molay's execution.
Is The Templar Enigma based on a true story?
Eden's adventure is fiction, but the threads are real. Molay's execution and curse are historical fact, and both Pope Clement V and King Philip IV died within the year. The Oracle of Siwa is real, and Alexander the Great crossed the Sahara to consult it in 331 BC. The Seal of Solomon appears in Hebrew, Islamic and Sufi tradition, and the Templar sites of Portugal, including the Convent of Christ at Tomar, still stand today.
Where is The Templar Enigma set?
The historical thread moves from Paris to a Templar commandery near Lisbon. The present-day story begins in London, in hidden vaults beneath the city and the historic Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub, before leading to the Siwa Oasis in Egypt's Sahara and finally to Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra, Portugal, with its mysterious Initiation Well.
Is The Templar Enigma clean or family-friendly?
Yes. Like the rest of the Eden Black Archaeological Thriller Series, it has action and danger throughout but nothing gratuitously violent or explicit.
