Rome the beautiful is dying, the symbol of civilization falling, the empire burning. Hidden from massacres and looting, a strange meeting is held by nine families who share the Roman Empire. To retain their power, they decide to support a new religion-Christianity-as well as its representative, the pope. But who are these 9 mysterious families?
Later, much later, it's the Renaissance. Christianity prospers. A brigand called «the Scorpion» makes a living by unearthing relics in the depths of the Roman catacombs, which he sells at high prices to princes and bishops. Trebaldi, a powerful cardinal, takes an interest in this Scorpion, who is either a creature of the devil... or a witness to a cursed era who must disappear .

This two-volume book includes «The Pope's Secret »
