In Tennessee and Los Angeles, a fortune-teller and an evangelist, both claiming to bear the holy wounds of stigmata, are brutally murdered.

Meanwhile, in a shanty town on the outskirts of Rome, a young gypsy girl emerges bearing the unmistakable wounds of stigmata. When the Vatican takes notice, two members of the esteemed Miracle Commission are dispatched to investigate this extraordinary phenomenon. What they discover sets off a chain of events that will shake the very foundations of faith.
Unknown to them, however, a lethal paramilitary group, the Black Templars, is tracking their every move. As news of the Vatican's investigation reaches the assassins' ears, they descend upon the gypsy encampment with ruthless intent.

Alone and desperate for salvation, the girl makes her way to the hallowed grounds of the Vatican not knowing that her arrival will ignite a deadly race against time. The Black Templars, fueled by their mission, become relentless in their pursuit to eliminate her.

When the Vatican Knights are entrusted with the impossible task of transporting a mysterious child to safety, a child who displays stigmata wounds that could confirm her divine role as the Angel of the Second Coming.

With the Black Templars closing in, the Vatican Knights find themselves battling not only a merciless enemy as ancient prophecies collide with modern conspiracies unfold. Faith is tested, loyalties are strained, and the line between good and evil blurs.

In a race against time and against a formidable enemy, the Vatican Knights must protect the child at all costs because the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. And only the Vatican Knights are all that stand between salvation and untold darkness.

The compelling characters that are the VATICAN KNIGHTS pulls the reader in and never lets go. Each of the 24 action thriller novels within the series will leave readers gripped by espionage, religious power, terrorism, and political warfare, and immerses them in the world the VATICAN KNIGHTS live and operate in. A global television series is currently in development.
