English Scholar's Ring, The

A crusader. A riddle. A ring. Justin needs to spend three consecutive months in his deceased father’s estate on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus — where he must solve a riddle to claim an extravagant inheritance, rich with history — and gold. Unexpected help comes from a woman named Zoe who may hold a clue to Justin’s own mysterious past — though neither of them fully know the stakes of her involvement. Unbeknownst to the two lovers, someone else is trying to solve the riddle for his own benefit. In an epic story spanning the ages from the time of Richard the Lionheart and the Third Crusade, to modern day Cyprus, reincarnation, history, love, and mystery collide. Historical fiction fans and mystery enthusiasts will devour this electrifying adventure by Lina Ellina, author of The Venetian – also listed for the EUROPEAN BOOK PRIZE 2012.
