Protector

'The truth will set you free.'

...Or will it destroy us?

In an age of 24-hour news, non-stop social media, competing forces and conspiracy theories, what happens when a Truth is revealed that could change humanity?

Raphael Ward, a renegade member of the Mystiko Kataskopos, the Roman Catholic Church's secret sect of elite spies and killers, finds himself suddenly tasked with being the Protector of the most holy - and secret - object in Christendom.

The Mary Shroud

With senior members of the MK charged with assassinating him and other enemies gathering, Raphael is forced to decide how best to keep the Shroud safe. Should it remain a closely guarded secret, as it has been for over 2000 years? Or should he do what no one else has ever done - and reveal its existence to the world?

No matter what decision he makes, Raphael Ward, the Protector, cannot afford to fail.
