Lazlo Ferran’s novel, Ordo Lupus II: The Devil's Own Dice unravels with a man trapped in an oubliette. He is desperately trying to escape and when he finally does, he finds himself in 13th century France. John is a former secret service agent. His research on the manuscript labeled as BC 10 to 21 and kept in the Manuscript Department at the British Museum leads to a series of adventures that brings him back to interesting historical events. With his wife, Rose, held against her will by Georgiana, the witch, he faces the Concilium Putus Visum, an assassin sect, and a biblical serpent that can shift its shape. Becoming a 13th century knight, he seeks out to rescue his wife and discover the mystery of the Maze Tower.
The Devil’s Own Dice is the second installment of the Lupus II Book Series. Author Lazlo Ferran combines his imaginative mind and knowledge of 13th century European history to come up with this masterpiece of a novel. As soon as I started reading the book, my interest was heightened to such an extent that it was very difficult to stop turning its pages. Shifting between the present and past centuries can be difficult but, in this story, the transition is simply seamless. The Devil’s Own Dice is peopled by highly interesting characters who are well rounded and realistic despite the fantastic nature of the story. The author’s descriptive style is brilliant so that his novel brings the reader back to times when the world is populated by great knights, kings, ruthless assassins, witches and a shape shifting serpent. This is an entertaining and informative read!
