1790. France is aflame in revolution. In the ancient fortress walls of her abbey, a young nun called Mireille discovers a mystical chess set that has been buried there for a thousand years, a chess set that once belonged to Charlemagne himself. Embedded in each piece is a code. Whoever reassembles the pieces can play a game of unlimited power. In this most dangerous of times, the pieces must be taken and scattered across the world or disaster will ensue.

Centuries later, Catherine Velis, a computer expert banished to Algeria by her accounting firm, gets caught up in the quest of the missing pieces - but will she deduce the answer to the greatest riddle of all time?
