He discovers a dangerous secret which could threaten powers beyond the Vatican. And an old enemy plots revenge in the shadows, an unthinkable act of sabotage that will plunge the world into a conflict of apocalyptic proportions. Once again Gabriel must place himself, and those he holds dear, on the razor’s edge of danger.
