The beliefs and faith of a young priest and professor at American University, Father William Evers, are threatened upon learning the truth of his own sister's abortion and the news of her devastating suicide.In an effort to help the young cleric cope with his grief and meet the test of his faith, his mentor recommends him for an assignment as the Vatican's representative to investigate the reappearance of several lost burial sites found among the archaeological digs in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and even the United States.The quest leads the young priest on an unexpected journey, linking the past to the present and revealing the horrifying truth of the ancient rites and practices of Europe's earliest tribes and civilizations. Moreover, all appear to be linked by a series of ancient rune-like writings, holding a sinister purpose behind the deaths of the children found in the mass graves that come to be unearthed.From the burial grounds of Suhl, Germany's, Teutonic past, to the desperate attempts of the Druids to stave off Ancient Rome's attempts to conquer them into submission on Anglesey Island, Father Evers uncovers more of the strange set of writings, linking their barbaric practices and customs to those of another people and civilization an ocean away, as both sacrifice the most innocent among their people, bartering the priceless gift of the lives of their children for the fleeting wants of human desires and greed.Join Father Evers as the story culminates in a testament of the horrid price man has paid for his arrogance and misdeeds as the young priest deciphers the truth held in the cryptic symbols of a foreign tongue and learns the reason behind the deaths of so many, lost in the forgotten graves bearing only the bodies of slain children.From the rune writings found on the stones marking a Germanic burial mound to the glyphs found within the burial chamber of an uncovered Toltec pyramid, they share the common link of an unknown tongue discovered at each of the archaeological sites, providing a bridge between the past and present. Discover with Evers the link between the cruel deaths from ages past and the continuing modern-day abhorrence of abortion as the young cleric rediscovers the truth of an ongoing battle between good and evil and restores his own faith and belief in God.
