In the small village of Ecsed, on the Hungarian/Romanian border, an ancient evil has awakened. Young girls begin disappearing in the middle of the night, and those who venture after them never return. The authorities believe it to be the work of a serial killer, but the local priest, Father Dalton, knows it is something far worse. Soon the Pope summons the Knights Templar, an ancient order sworn to protect the Church thought to have been eradicated seven hundred years ago. They send one of their best Knights, Thomas Bronte, to investigate what is happening in Ecsed. Soon Thomas is faced with an evil too terrifying to imagine; the Blood Countess, one of the deadliest vampires in history, has returned to seek revenge on the descendants of the people who sentenced her to death. It is here he also meets the beautiful Elizabeth Campbell, the member of a powerful witch coven determined to stop the killings. Going against both his Church and beliefs, Thomas reluctantly joins forces with Elizabeth and her coven to end the bloodshed. But just as if things couldn’t get any worse, Thomas uncovers that there is a traitor in his ranks working with the Countess, whose ultimate goal is the destruction of the Church. Armed with his faith and the sword of Saint Joan of Arc, Thomas is thrown into a world of magic and demons not only fighting for his life, but his very soul.

Sitting on the beach; waves gently lapping the shore; Standing in the forest; wind rustling through the leaves, Laying in the starlight; frogs serenade... These are the thin moments where mother nature speaks to your soul.

Venture into the mystical realms where dreams stir amidst the mists of time awaiting your discovery. The whisper of destiny beckons from the horizon, tempting your soul into the unknown. As the moon casts its glow upon the still waters, treasures of the deep arise to greet the night, revealing the heart’s stolen moments: a woman’s tender reminiscence of a love that slipped through the sands of time. Bound by broken promises, the chains of the past rattle, heralding the emergence of the Oracle’s salvation. The silver chalice of the Wiccan way stands solemn, casting blessings upon the hearth of souls, as temptation unfurls, offering a tantalizing glimpse into a man’s journey amidst the shades of truth and the sins veiled in the night’s embrace. The ancient Gaelic melodies of battle resound through the ages, serenading the goddesses of lost tales. Under the watchful eyes of summer’s blaze, betrayal’s sting festers, while deceit lays its cool touch with autumn’s descent. Amidst this eternal dance of fate and desire, a path of destined light unveils itself.

Television can be a storehouse of treasures, and one of its best kept secrets was a show called Charmed.

Together they are the Charmed Ones and they are sworn to protect the innocent. In Triquetra, best-selling author Keith Topping explores every episode, revealing the triumphs, the goofs, the guest stars, the intake of nicotine and alcohol, and generally gets under the skin of the Halliwell sisters and their lives, loves and spellbinding adventures.
