One man’s sacrifice shocks the world....
One woman’s courage threatens a conspiracy as old as humankind.
And some will do anything—anything—to keep their secrets in the dark.
A man climbs a cliff face in the oldest inhabited place on earth, a mountain known as the Citadel, a Vatican-like city-state that towers above the city of Ruin in modern-day Turkey. But this is no ordinary ascent. It is a dangerous, symbolic act. And thanks to the media, it is an event witnessed by the entire world.
Few people understand its consequence. But for foundation worker Kathryn Mann and a handful of others, it’s evidence that a revolution is at hand. For the Sancti, the cowled and secretive monks who live inside the Citadel, it could mean the end of everything they have built. They will stop at nothing to keep what is theirs, and they will break every law in every country and even kill to hold it fast. For American reporter Liv Adamsen, it spurs the memory of the beloved brother she lost years before, setting her on a journey across the world and into the heart of her own identity.
There, she will make a discovery so shocking that it will change everything.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The theme of the book was great; really interesting perspective. Unfortunately it was lost with all the different factions competing for control; names were confusing, it was so hard to tell who was who and it severly detracted from the story. I nearly abandoned the book midway through for this reasonHow would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Eliminate or at least cut down from the shoot em up parts.Have you listened to any of Simon Vance’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Have not listenedIf this book were a movie would you go see it?
PossiblyGood them, but lost in the conflict

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No, I wouldn't recommend the book but I'll bet that it would make an exciting movie.Would you ever listen to anything by Simon Toyne again?
No, the research was sloppy and the story didn't warrant the time spent listening. Several facts about Turkey, where the majority of the action takes place were downright wrong. Mr. Toyne should have gone to Turkey and spent some time in there before writing about it.Have you listened to any of Simon Vance’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
He is a great narrator. He is able to play several characters very convincingly. As a matter of fact, at one point I checked the website to see if there were more than one narrator.Could you see Sanctus being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Yes, it would be a successful movie.Disappointing

Of course the girl but I liked Gab as a strong silent type Liked all of themWhat about Simon Vance’s performance did you like?
I must admit he has a talent and it shows, I would gladly listen to him againDid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Maybe not extreme, but I was not surpised that man could be so cruel,women have always been a problem if they are powerful, man really doesn't cope well in this case it was extreme resultsAny additional comments?
