1457. Enemies storm the Marienburg castle—the capital of the Teutonic Order. The Grand Master flees to Prussia. 1945. The Soviet army storms the Prussian city of Pillau. And now a Nazi Gauleiter flees from the enemy. What do these events have in common? They are connected by an ancient secret of the Crusaders—the secret of the Ligguet, the sword of Satan. “Yes, the plays were in different languages, and the playwrights didn’t know about each other. But the symbol that gives rise to action always built its unchanging family plot: if it’s a rose, it’s love; if it’s a sword, it’s war.” And the repetition of history is always the path to Satan.
