Hace quinientos años, el Popol Vuh de los mayas profetizó el nacimiento de unos poderosos hermanos gemelos: los hijos de Michael Gabriel. Jacob, de cabellos blancos y ojos azules oscuros, dotado de cualidades inhumanas tales como una gran capacidad psíquica, una inteligencia especial y una visión profunda del cosmos, que sabe desde el momento de nacer que su destino va más lejos. Su hermano Immanuel, de cabello oscuro, rechaza su vocación genética y desea llevar una vida normal. Pero sólo la combinación de los poderes de ambos podrá resucitar al salvador, su padre, y librar a la especie humana de toda una eternidad repitiendo su propia autodestrucción. Existe un gran tercer poder sobre la tierra, nacido el mismo día que los gemelos. Sometida al lado más amargo de la existencia y dotada de un poder especial, la bella y esquizofrénica Lilith, que viajará a través de un camino más oscuro que conduce a Xibalba, la versión maya del infierno. Se librará una épica batalla del bien contra el mal… y se revelará el destino final de la raza humana.
