England, 1914. The world is at war. Captain Hastings, injured and shaken, is invited to Styles Court to recover. It’s a grand old country house - the family home of his old friend - and a perfect haven. Or so it seems. But in the blistering summer heat, trouble is afoot. Simmering tensions are tearing the family apart, and it all comes to a head in the most horrifying way.

My name is Al. I live in wealthy people's second homes while their real owners are away. I don’t rob them, I don’t damage anything… I’m more an unofficial house-sitter than an actual criminal. Life is good. Or it was - until last night, when my friends and I broke into the wrong place, on the wrong day, and someone wound up dead. And now…now we’re in a great deal of trouble.

How do you find something that doesn't exist? It all begins with an egg. With a hungry child who risks her life for an omelette for tea - and finds a miracle. With thieves committing crimes against nature on the wild cliffs of Yorkshire. With a marvel that becomes a mystery...and then a myth. And 100 years later it begins again. With a strange robbery at a remote Welsh cottage. With two friends thrust from their gaming chairs into a real-life quest. And with dangerous men who will stop at nothing to get what they want. It all begins with an egg. But where will it end?
