Un lustro después de su aventura en Argos, William Waters y Mélina Klimatsakis comparten trabajo y casa en Inglaterra como antaño hicieran en Grecia. Una tarde, Nathan, el cuñado de William, les hace una visita con el fin de proponerles un proyecto algo extraño: el estudio de un retablo gótico olvidado en una catedral provinciana del levante ibérico.Y de repente, todo parece hundirse en los abismos oscuros: los fantasmas del pasado los envuelven en una suerte de danza macabra, su amistad se tambalea zarandeada por recelos y desconfianzas mutuas, todas sus seguridades se derrumban y se encuentran empujados a un extraño peregrinaje que los asusta, porque no ven ninguna luz. Pero entre las tinieblas palpita una esperanza: al final del viaje, puede ser que encuentren la respuesta a dos de los misterios más intrigantes de la Humanidad. Sólo que esta respuesta se revelará completamente distinta a todo cuanto podían haber imaginado y no les será nada fácil asimilarla.

Like a tangled web of myth, stupor, and confusion, "Religion", since the beginning of time, has contrived and conspired to enslave the mind and heart of all mankind, and lead the whole world astray. Appealing to man's inherent proclivity toward ego-driven autonomy, power, and hoped for immortality, "Religion" has made promises she cannot keep. The consequences of her defective doctrines and cleverly devised creeds have been far reaching, and devastating. Rather than being an effective antidote to the unbridled passions of men, "Religion", far too often, has been its murderous facilitator. Known as Babylon in the Scriptures, the "Religion" that began with the Adversary 'Satan', was successfully packaged, marketed, and disseminated over the entire earth. In the East, these Babylonian 'Chaldean Mysteries' appeared as Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism, and Islam.
