Roma, 1888. La scienza crede di poter illuminare ogni tenebra. Ma cosa succede quando la luce rivela qualcosa che, dal buio, ci stava gi� guardando?
Nel segreto del laboratorio XV dell'Istituto di Fisica Sperimentale, il giovane e brillante Adriano Sancta e il suo maestro, il professor Ottaviano Pareri, accendono una macchina impossibile. Hanno isolato la banda infraluminosa: una frequenza sconosciuta dell'etere, la luce sotto la luce. Ma quello che doveva essere il pi� grande trionfo della scienza si trasforma in un incubo. L'apparecchio non illumina la materia, ma apre una breccia verso un orrore antico, muto e affamato.
Quella stessa notte, il professore viene assassinato. Incastrato per l'omicidio da forze insospettabili, Adriano � condannato all'ergastolo nella fortezza di Pianosa. La sua vita, il suo nome, i suoi studi: tutto cancellato.
Creduto morto per il mondo, Adriano rinasce nell'ombra. Sotto la guida di un misterioso monaco, scopre la terribile verit� dietro la morte del suo maestro si cela l'Ordine dell'Aurora Cinerea, una setta millenaria guidata dallo spietato conte Marsillac. L'Ordine intende replicare l'esperimento di Adriano per squarciare definitivamente il velo tra i mondi in concomitanza con le imminenti eclissi solari. In cambio di potere, consegneranno l'umanit� all'abisso.
Evadendo da una prigione da cui nessuno � mai fuggito, Adriano assume una nuova identit�. Dai salotti aristocratici della Vienna asburgica alle cripte segrete di Praga, dagli archivi copti del Cairo alle viscere inesplorate delle montagne abruzzesi, inizia una corsa mortale contro il tempo. Al suo fianco, la geniale e coraggiosa Beatrice von Holst. Insieme, dovranno ricostruire a memoria la macchina perduta e affrontare l'Ordine sul suo stesso terreno.
Ma il nemico � potente, e la magia pi� antica esige sempre un tributo di sangue. Per sigillare la porta, l'eroe dovr� pagare il pedaggio pi� alto: quello della propria anima.
Un thriller storico dal respiro epico, un'indagine filosofica sulla scienza ai limiti del lecito, un oscuro mistero gotico. Un romanzo monumentale e magnetico, dedicato a tutti coloro che hanno guardato troppo a lungo nell'abisso e ne sono tornati senza voce.
