Robert Langdon arrives at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao at the invitation of friend and former student Edmond Kirsch. A billionaire and computer guru, he is known for his amazing discoveries and predictions. And this evening Kirsch is going to "turn over all modern scientific ideas about the world", giving an answer to two main questions that concern humanity throughout history:Where are we from?What awaits us?However, before Edmond can make a statement, the lavish reception turns into chaos. Langdon and the director of the museum, the beautiful Ambre Vidal, miraculously manage to escape.Now their way lies to Barcelona, where Kirsch left for his teacher a coded key to a mystery that can shake the very foundations of humanity's self-image. A secret that has been buried for centuries in the darkness of oblivion. A mystery that might be better off never seeing the light of day—at least, that's what those who pursue Langdon and Vidal and are willing to do anything to prevent them from revealing the truth.
