This manuscript is 2000 years old, and there is no place for it in the history of human civilization. Those who found it are doomed to death - in their wake is a squad of ruthless killers created back in the days of the Roman Empire. Their task is to preserve the purity of the Christian faith, and for this they are ready to put to death anyone who is dangerous to the Conclave. Who is the author of the manuscript found by archaeologists in the ruins of Herod’s Nest - Metsada? Is it really the same Judas from Kiriath, cursed forever for having betrayed his teacher Yeshua Ha-Nozri to death? And what amazing story about that terrible time is written in faded ink on calfskin?..
