The Thirteen Hallows
A gruesome murder in modern London reveals a sinister plot to uncover a two-thousand-year-old secret, in this spellbinding thriller by New York Times bestselling author Michael Scott (The Alchemyst) and award-winning playwright Colette Freedman.
They are the Hallows of Britain—thirteen ancient and mysterious treasures imbued with the potential for great good...or absolute evil. For centuries, these Hallows have been kept hidden and apart from each other by hereditary Keepers, who can trace their lineage back to the age of Arthur and beyond. But now the Keepers are being brutally murdered, their prizes stolen, and the ancient objects bathed in their blood.
Now, only a few remain.
With her dying breath, a Keeper convinces Sarah Miller, a total stranger, to deliver her Hallow—a broken sword with devastating powers—to her American nephew, Owen. As Sarah and Owen search for the surviving Keepers, they unravel the deadly secret the Keepers were charged to protect. The mystery leads Sarah and Owen on a harrowing cat-and-mouse chase through England and Wales—and history itself—as they discover that the sword may be the only thing standing between the world...and an ancient horror beyond imagining.

A compelling tale 
May 16, 2012
The Thirteen Hallows is a well crafted tale that easily keeps the reader intrigued and turning the pages. The story is well thought out and the writing style, although somewhat choppy, is clear and fast paced. The extreme brutality and significant sexual content was a bit more than I expected. If this were a move, it would earn a hard "R" rating. A good read for adults.
