Un'arma segreta può cambiare il corso della guerra e della storia? Himmler ne è convinto, tanto da incaricare il miglior esperto di storia antica per la ricerca di una reliquia che prende origine nella notte dei tempi. Esiste veramente o è solo un'antica leggenda? L'avventurosa ricerca in Europa in fiamme porta l'archeologo a ripercorrere a ritroso la storia e i luoghi, a mettere a repentaglio la propria vita come a fare incontri inaspettati. Nell'ombra però qualcuno cerca di proteggere il prezioso cimelio, ma un dilemma attanaglia Heinrich von Schuster per tutto il tempo dell'indagine: è giusto riporlo nelle mani del Terzo Reich?
Can a secret weapon change the course of war and history? Himmler is convinced of this, so much that he commissions the best expert in ancient history to search for a relic that originates in the mists of time. Does it exist or is it just an ancient legend? The adventurous search in burning Europe leads the archaeologist to go back over history and places, risk his own life, and make unexpected encounters. In the shadows, however, someone tries to protect the precious relic, but a dilemma grips Heinrich von Schuster throughout the investigation: is it right to hand it over to the Third Reich?
