2021brossura I servizi segreti sono sulle tracce di Sophia Madlane, una donna americana che sembra custodire oscuri segreti. Un esorcista spagnolo, Juan de Tuleda, viene coinvolto nella vicenda quando la donna si reca proprio da lui per chiedere aiuto. Juan accetterà di accompagnare Sophia in un singolare viaggio alla ricerca di una antica eresia sulla nascita del Male: i ricordi perduti del Diavolo, le ragioni della sua primordiale rivolta. Ma potenti organizzazioni sono interessate ad acquisire questa verità, e grande sarà la sorpresa del giovane nello scoprire che a muovere le fila, come un gran burattinaio, si cela proprio 'lui', Satana, il biblico principe dell'Inferno. Intrappolato in una trama più grande di lui, ed invaghito della donna, Juan tenterà di comporre il mosaico delle religioni, fino a quando, come in un gioco di specchi, il Principe del Mondo mostrerà il suo vero volto, ed il giovane si smarrirà sulle soglie dell'abisso. Eresie medievali, templarismo, esoterismo, culti egizi, tutto trova collocazione in una trama incalzante condotta sul filo dell'ironia, che offre una imprevedibile, ma coerente, teologia "alternativa".
