The Divine Conjuror by Miguel Ruiz Montanez

A thousand years ago, Sylvestre II, the Pope Magician, created an extraordinary machine.

Some said he was in league with the Devil; others, that he was a sorcerer. But the mystical machine, shaped in the form of a giant head, carried with it Sylvestre's belief that he could prevent the doom prophesied in the Book of Revelation.

One thousand years later, the Count of Divange discovers the talking head hidden deep in the cellars of his castle in France. He knows that he has found the final piece of a mysterious jigsaw that his family have been trying to complete for hundreds of years.

The sudden disappearance of the Count forces his wife and daughter, with the help of a young detective, on a spiral of dangerous encounters that lead them across Europe, pursued by others desperate to reveal secrets that have lain dormant for a thousand years. From Cordoba to Champagne, Rome and Reims, can they unveil the truth behind the legend that threatened to destroy the world a thousand years ago - and is now poised to do so once more?
