The Heart of Judas (He was sent to silence history. But history has a voice of its own.)

Faith can survive any lie. But can it survive the truth?Rome 1517. As Martin Luther’s Ninety-five Theses send a shockwave through the Christian world the Vatican moves to protect itself. Father Luca Moretti—a brilliant cynical priest who trusts in parchment and logic over prayer—is ordered to scour the secret archives for any inconvenient truths that could fuel the Reformation fire. For Luca it is a duty that affirms his deepest belief: that the Church is a magnificent necessary lie held together by secrets he is sworn to protect.His search leads him to a place that doesn't exist: a sealed vault erased from all records. Inside he finds no dusty manuscript but a horror of theology and biology—a supernatural relic that defies all reason. Suspended in a crystalline prison is the scarred ancient and still-beating heart of Judas Iscariot.
