Beneath Rome, something is waking.
Investigative journalist Marcus Albuerte came to the Eternal City searching for answers about his fianc e's death. Instead, he found bodies in the catacombs-drained, marked with symbols that shouldn't exist. The Vatican knows more than it will say. The shadows move when they shouldn't. And every answer Marcus uncovers only pulls him deeper into passages that wind back through centuries of buried faith.
There are whispers of something ancient. Something that was sealed away long before Rome rose from the seven hills. The deeper Marcus descends, the more he realizes his investigation was never his own-that he's been following a path laid out for him, stone by stone, into the heart of a darkness that has been waiting.
Some truths hunger to be known.
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed.
And Marcus Albuerte is about to discover why certain knowledge was meant to stay buried in the dark.
