The Lion and the Covenant

By B. Victor Preston

A gripping mystery thriller “fictionalised” but built on explosive, carefully researched historical fact. Follow Tom Wilson and Kate Torrington across three continents in a journey that blends suspense, love, and a hidden history that may rewrite what you thought you knew.

“The Lion and the Covenant will leave traditional historians speechless. It will also shake the world of Ark theorists as never before. This is no wild speculation, but the result of years of meticulous research around the globe. Precise names, times and places pour out in a torrent of cumulative evidence, impossible to ignore. In the face of this information the conventional explanations of the events it exposes look decidedly thin.” — Caleb White

“Although presented as an enjoyable and entertaining novel, this book may be the most authoritative account ever of the real fate of the Ark. It is fascinating to read about such hidden history. I was stunned to learn about the ‘royal secret’, and that the Freemasons and their ‘society with secrets’ may really have been hiding something big after all. And surprise surprise, it surely looks like those ‘respectable’ Brits could teach modern politicians a trick or two about industrial-scale disinformation. As for what we learn about Queen Victoria and her family — can you believe those royals?” — Geoff

“I don’t know about the Ark, but I liked it as a mystery thriller that relates to modern life, and as an appealing yet realistic love story.” — Annabel

“To my mind this reveals the most amazing — and up till now successful — intrigue in all modern history. To think they got away with it for 140 odd years!” — Mike

What Hidden Cargo Did This Royal Ship Transport?

• Why are there three lions, repeated, on the British royal standard?
• What are the connections between the British royal family, a trilogy of strange nineteenth-century events, and the Ark of the Covenant?
• What do the “holy numbers” of Freemasonry really signify, and what do they bear witness to?
• How can numbers, colours, names and symbols help explain a great mystery?
• Where is there arguable evidence on the fate of the Ark that you can inspect in person?

If the answers to these questions intrigue you, you won’t want to miss The Lion and the Covenant.

A Novel That Will Surprise You

Part historical investigation, part thriller, and part love story, The Lion and the Covenant explores one of the most controversial mysteries in modern history. Expect meticulous research woven into an adventurous narrative that will challenge orthodox views.

Is this just “an abstract architectural feature,” or can you see a face in it? Why was this building purpose-built? Are Masonic secrets encoded in these two buildings?
