Daniel Byrne walks into a covert government facility with forged credentials and a dangerous mission. The former Vatican investigator spent a decade debunking miracles until one case destroyed his faith and exposed global conspiracies. Now he works for a shadowy organization that manipulates world events from behind closed doors. Inside the facility, Daniel discovers scientists have weaponized a new variant of the Plague. This pathogen floods victims' minds with glimpses of future events before killing them. Daniel partners with Kara Singh, a disgraced doctor who suffers from mysterious visions of her own. Together they track the deadly strain across continents as infection spreads. Daniel must choose between his new masters and preventing a pandemic that could reshape civilization. The shadow world he inhabits demands loyalty, but the plague threatens everyone he once swore to protect.
