Co kryje w sobie tajemnica Sanctusa? Pośrodku tureckiego miasta Ruina wznosi się najstarsze ludzkie siedlisko – monumentalna Cytadela. Pewnego dnia z jej szczytu rzuca się mężczyzna.

[Danish] - Solomon Creed

"Forfatteren til den roste Sanctus-trilogi har frembragt en sælsom fortælling om godt og ondt, straf og tilgivelse – den første roman i den tryllebindende Solomon Creed-serie. På en bjergtop i byen Redemption, Arizona, er indbyggerne forsamlet på en gammel kirkegård for at begrave en lokal beboer, men den alvorsfulde begivenhed bliver pludselig afbrudt af en eksplosion et sted ude i ørkenen. Et fly er styrtet ned, og snart er en løbsk brand på vej mod byen. Da byens politichef haster hen til nedstyrtningsstedet, er han nær ved at køre en høj, bleg mand over, som kommer løbende væk fra ilden, barfodet og uden erindring om, hvem han er, eller hvordan han er kommet dertil. Den eneste ledetråd til hans identitet er et mærke i hans skræddersyede jakke og en bog, der er dedikeret til ham, og begge angiver de navnet Solomon Creed. Han føler sig draget mod byen og har en tvingende følelse af, at han er kommet for at redde den mand, der er blevet begravet den selvsamme morgen. For at afdække sin egen identitet må Solomon søge dybt i byens historie og sandheden om den mand, han er udset til at redde, men han møder modstand fra stærke kræfter og må handle hurtigt, hvis det skal lykkes ham at forbinde alle trådene, inden det er for sent. Creed er det første bind i en ny serie af Simon Toyne, forfatteren bag Sanctus, Nøglen og Tårnet."
