Muškarac je skočio u smrt s najstarijeg nastanjenog mjesta na zemlji, planinske tvrđave u povijesnom turskom gradu Ruševina. Ne radi se o običnom samoubojstvu, već o simboličnom činu, a zahvaljujući suvremenim medijima, događaj je pratio čitav svijet. Kathryn Mann i nekolicini ostalih upućenih to je bio poziv na akciju koji su dugo čekali. Redovnicima u kukuljicama i tajnim fanaticima koji žive u Citadeli to predstavlja prijetnju propasti svega što su stvorili – i oni su spremni ubijati, mučiti i pogaziti svaki ljudski zakon kako bi zaštitili svoje djelo. Liv Adamsen, izvjestiteljici newjerseyskih novina, to je značilo početak zastrašujućeg i opasnog putovanja u srce vlastitog identiteta. A na kraju tog putovanja nalazi se otkriće koje će doslovno promijeniti SVE.

Usred uzavrele arizonske pustinje, grupica stanovnika gradića Redemptiona okuplja se na mjesnom groblju kako bi pokopala novoizabranog šerifa koji je poginuo nesretnim slučajem. Iznenada ih prekida snažna eksplozija aviona uzrokujući veliki požar koji prijeti da će cijeli gradić progutati u kratkom vremenu. Dok svi hitaju prema mjestu nesreće, šerif Garth Morgan zamalo udari visokog, blijedog stranca koji trči bosonog prema gradu, bez sjećanja i identiteta, sa samo jednim ciljem- mora spasiti čovjeka kojeg su oni upravo pokopali… On otkriva da se zove Solomon Creed i pronalazi stari dnevnik lovca na izgubljeno blago i osnivača Redemptiona te kreće u potragu za istinom koja će probuditi opasne tajne skrivene iza bijelih kamenih zidina velebne gradske crkve i pokrenuti žestoku akciju u koju će se umiješati tajna policija i zloglasni šef moćnog narkokartela. No, mogu li oni spriječiti Solomona da ostvari svoj cilj i otkrije koga je zapravo došao spasiti? Autor poznate trilogije Sanctus dočarava jezivu priču dobra i zla, odmazde i iskupljenja u kojoj njegov novi junak Solomon Creed mora spasiti izgubljene duše malog arizonskog gradića.
