Elisabeth de Moreau d'Andoy, a Belgian translator with an abiding love and fascination for medieval history and archeology, moves to central Italy, thrilled to discover more about the country's lush landscape and storied past.

What atrocities have the Roman Catholic Church been attempting to bury for hundreds of years? What secrets are they protecting surrounding the existence and reign of the "Father of Europe."
