    About this ebook

    In 1244, at the infamous fortress of Montségur in southwestern France, Christian From the master of high action comes a novel of deception and intrigue that paved the way for the history-based religious thrillers of Dan Brown, Steve Berry, and James Rollins.

    Inquisitors massacred the last vestige of a heresy known as Mithraism, once the dominant religion of the Roman Empire. But was the heresy in fact destroyed? In today’s New York City, reporter Tess Drake discovers a mysterious altar in the apartment of a friend whose charred body was discovered in a nearby park. The altar (a version of it exists in the British Museum) depicts a man astride a bull, plunging a knife into its neck while a dog, a scorpion, and a snake drink the blood. The meaning of that altar propels Tess on a furious hunt for the truth about what happened to her friend, a labyrinth of intrigue and danger that leads to the highest levels of power as well as to the depths of a secret cave in Spain.

    This special e-version of THE COVENANT OF THE FLAME has a revised text and an introduction in which David Morrell describes the unusual personal events that prompted him to write this novel.

    “A mega-thriller by any standard”

    —Associated Press

    “David Morrell is, to me, the finest thriller writer living today, bar none.”

    —Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Jefferson Key

    “A master storyteller”

    —James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Colony
