After the death of her grandmother, Afdera Brooks, a young brilliant historian and archaeologist, will receive as part of her legacy the key to open the security box of an American bank where a very antique manuscript is kept… Helped by Maximilian Kronauer, an expert Jesuit priest, she will start a long journey to discover the meaning of such misterious document that will bring them to Zurich, Gebel Qarara, Cairo, Alexandria, Geneva, Hong Kong, Antiochus, Acre and Venice, the labyrinth of water…      

A conversation between Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot, a letter in Aramean, two knight-errants, a Papal throne, Scandinavian mercenaries submitted to Louis of France and three strange clues hidden in Venice will help to unravel one of the biggest ecclesiastical mysteries in which Catholic Church is settled. The powerful cardinal August Lienart, Secretary of Vatican State, will be determined to keep this secret unveiled, even by killing to all those people who try to reveal it. Eight priests who take part of a centennial secret society and the Archangel, a dark killer, will be the one who will carry it out.
