His search leads him into conflict with some of the world’s most powerful leaders; men willing to do anything to protect a secret that would change the world forever.As Raphael faces threats to his life – and threatens the lives of others – he begins to question the very faith that has sustained and driven him for so long. When he finally uncovers the shocking truth, he realises that nothing can ever be the same again.
