The captivating tale of Robert Langdon returns in a new novel by the author of The Da Vinci Code. Renowned Harvard professor Robert Langdon, expert in symbology and religious iconology, visits the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao for a significant event. He is there to witness his friend and former pupil, Edmond Kirsch—an innovative tech magnate known for his revolutionary creations and bold predictions—reveal a groundbreaking scientific discovery that promises to transform the understanding of science forever. However, the evening takes an unexpected turn when the carefully planned event is disrupted, leaving the crowd, including Langdon, stunned before Kirsch's secret is disclosed.

Faced with imminent danger, Langdon joins forces with Ambra Vidal, the museum's director, to escape. Their journey takes them on a hazardous quest to Barcelona, in search of a mysterious password crucial to unveiling Kirsch's hidden breakthrough. Constantly pursued by a relentless adversary who anticipates their every move, Langdon and Vidal delve into the maze of hidden historical and religious paths.
