1947, the Qumran Valley. Ancient scrolls are discovered that the Vatican desperately tries to suppress. Only five men know of their existence. But now four of the men have been found dead . . .

Priest and double agent, Rafael, is sent to investigate. The evidence he discovers may implicate journalist Sarah Monteiro, who already knows too many of the Church?s secrets.

Em dezembro de 2012, Bento XVI recebeu de uma comissão de cardeais um relatório de 300 páginas sobre o mediático caso “Vatileaks”.

Dois meses depois, no dia 11 de fevereiro de 2013, evocando razões de saúde, e ciente da gravidade da sua decisão, o Papa anunciou ao mundo que resignaria ao trono de São Pedro. Não se sentia capaz, física e espiritualmente, para continuar a exercer o cargo.

Que segredos comprometedores guarda o extenso relatório? A resignação terá acontecido por razões de saúde, como o Bento XVI anunciou, ou por pressões políticas que jamais serão tornadas públicas?
Os mistérios de tão inesperada decisão serão agora revelados.

Quando Niklas, um jovem padre, é raptado, ninguém imagina que esse acontecimento é apenas o início de uma grande conspiração que tem como objectivo acabar com um dos segredos mais bem guardados do Vaticano - a filha do Papa Pio XII.

Rafael, um agente da Santa Sé fiel à sua Igreja e à sua fé, tem como missão descobrir quem se esconde por detrás de todos os crimes que se sucedem e evitar a todo o custo que algo aconteça à filha do Papa.

Conseguirá Rafael ser uma vez mais bem-sucedido? Ou desta vez a Igreja Católica não será poupada?

Deep in the Vatican's inner sanctum lies a dark and terrifying secret . . . a secret that has been concealed for decades, and one that its keepers will stop at nothing to protect. In 1978 Pope John Paul I dies in mysterious circumstances. His successor, John Paul II, emerges from the conclave unaware that he is in mortal danger. It is only through the actions of a few loyal operatives that his assassination is prevented. Thirty years later journalist Sarah Monteiro begins to uncover the sinister machinations of a covert agency, whose web of lies and injustice hides the true power behind the throne. It would seem that the dark forces are still at large, and Sarah faces a life-or-death struggle in the name of truth and faith.

Suspicious about what the historian may have uncovered, Rafael, the shadowy priest/operative, is sent to investigate. He discovers evidence that may implicate Sarah Montiero, the British journalist who already knows too many of the Church's secrets.

In the Pope's personal library is a copy of the document in question- the first thing a Pope reads when he is elected, handed down only upon his coronation. Will the world soon learn what revelations it holds?
