Some said he was in league with the Devil; others that he was a sorcerer. But the mystical machine, shaped in the form of a giant head, carried with it Sylvestre’s belief that he could prevent the doom prophesied in the Book of Revelation.
One thousand years later, the Count of Divange discovers the talking head hidden deep in the cellars of his castle in France. He knows that he has found the final piece of a mysterious jigsaw that his family have been trying to complete for hundreds of years.
The sudden disappearance of the Count forces his wife and daughter, with the help of a young detective, on a spiral of dangerous encounters that lead them across Europe, pursued by others desperate to reveal secrets that have lain dormant for a thousand years.
