Your parents and brother were killed in a car accident when you were fifteen. Imagine working in New York City alone as a young single woman with no family. You have been working at a newspaper publisher since graduating as a journalist. However, you do have a grandmother. Your parents stopped seeing her when you were seven. You haven't seen her since.
You remember the enormous estate, but most importantly, you remember the unusually intimidating fountain in the courtyard entrance. You've dreamed about it for years. What does it mean?
The estate is surrounded by beautiful vineyards shared with the Abbey across the river. Your step-grandfather, Umberto, is the producer of wine, but you were too young to know that. You don't remember his face. He was from Italy and met your grandmother there years ago. You overheard while growing up that he and your grandmother, Victoria, were involved with forbidden history. You looked it up. The antediluvian look at history would change the worldview if certain evidence were to surface.
Kaira Munroe, arrives at Meadow Manor to attend her grandmother’s Wake and a major announcement regarding forbidden history – the unveiling of a family secret that will change the face of her view of the Vatican and the world forever. As the Wake begins, Father Murphy introduces Alex Mirabelli, a Jesuit Priest, and Astronomer. Kaira finds she is captivated as she awaits the unveiling of her grandmother's secret, which Kaira is beginning to realize will be more controversial than she could have dreamed.
The beautiful wake is suddenly disrupted, and the revealing of the last wish of Kaira’s grandmother, Victoria, teeters on the brink of being lost forever. Facing imminent danger from an invisible secret Order who think nothing of murder, Kaira is forced into a desperate escape. With her is Jonathan Bell, her high school sweetheart. Together Kaira and Jonathan flee on a perilous quest to unlock the ancient forbidden secret.
