Bavaria, 1787. The Illuminati are wounded—but far from defeated.
After years of danger, Sebastian Drechsler longs for a quieter life: finish his studies, secure his future with Francesca, and leave secret wars behind. Then a mission carries him across the Alps to the glittering world of Count Bassus, where opera, forbidden philosophy, seductive privilege, and a mysterious brotherhood offer everything Sebastian believes he wants.
But beneath the elegance lies a conspiracy reaching from royal courts to the newborn United States. When Sebastian discovers that his generous host is not the ally he seems, he is bound, betrayed, and sealed inside a statue of Baphomet—destined for a fate worse than death.
To escape, expose the Order, and save those caught in its grip, Sebastian must master his fear, rally his few remaining allies, and return to the heart of the darkness for one final assault.
Blending historical intrigue, occult mystery, breathless action, and irreverent humor, Illuminati Hunter III: Count Bassus & the Statue of Baphomet brings Sebastian’s extraordinary journey to a thrilling and unexpectedly moving conclusion.
