When twelve-year-old Sam Hunter finds himself orphaned and alone on a crippled science research station, the miraculous sole survivor of a ruthless attack by an unknown enemy, he is confronted with more than just the need to survive his decaying environment. Buried in the rubble of the station, along with the remains of his mother and aunt, are the mysterious hidden remnants of his attackers, and the catalyst that will begin an epic quest to discover who - or what - he truly is. As Sam slowly begins to unravel his own past, a group of archaeologists back on Earth, nearly two decades earlier, make a startling discovery deep within the ruins of the oldest city ever built that forces mankind to take a closer look at its origins and histories. The questions raised by these discoveries cast an uncomfortable shadow of doubt over everything mankind takes for granted and may just be the key to Sam's future. But while science and destiny work to reveal the secret details of a divine conspiracy, protected for two-thousand years by the Vatican, an ancient figure of unimaginable power schemes to put an end to the prophecy and to any hope for mankind.
