In a world ruled by faith and fear, one man discovers a terrible truth: We are not alone...

Brother Carlos de Roja of the abbey of Sant Cugat du Valles leads a simple life, until the wars he studies in books and scrolls invade his home. What starts as a search for the identity of the mysterious Karl Outrikos soon embroils him in a dark conspiracy that stretches both across Europe, and back through the centuries to the beginnings of his faith.

Through it all, Carlos searches for one thing only--the truth. And when he finds it, nothing will ever be the same.
