Peter Robertson's grandfather is trying to unravel one of the greatest mysteries of the Middle Ages when he disappears during an archaeological expedition in Ethiopia. His disappearance sets off a series of events stretching deep into the past and rippling forward to the modern day. Fast forward 20 years and Peter finds himself in an army veteran rehabilitation centre with his team. They are all struggling to recover from serious injuries and to make sense of their new circumstances when an old friend of Peter's grandfather contacts him about a mysterious map found in his grandfather's belongings. It may help solve the mystery of his grandfather's disappearance and that of the long-lost treasure of Prester John, a mythical King from the Middle Ages. Loosely based on the true legend of Prester John, Into the Kingdom is a sweeping adventure tale beginning in the superstitious Age of Discovery and ending in modern-day Ethiopia. At its core, Into the Kingdom, demonstrates that real heroism is rooted in humanity and the acceptance of oneself.
