A fragment believed to be part of the True Cross is taken from Jerusalem at the end of the First Crusade. Revered as a sacred object, it also becomes associated with betrayal, greed and sudden death as it passes from one custodian to another.
The linked stories follow the relic across centuries and changing societies, with each generation interpreting its power according to its own fears and ambitions. The collection traces how an object acquires a dangerous reputation—and how murder repeatedly follows those who seek to possess, authenticate or profit from it.
