Publisher's Synopsis
The first chapter of the trilogy "The Nodes of the Earth".
An ancestral power, a traveler, a secret, a young girl. Dangerous words, new concepts, a killer, and the eternal struggle of good against evil. Technology, the Id... The Mother Earth.
In an era when the passage of time in the lives of kings was confused with centuries, a group of desperate individuals dared to use an artifact of unknown origins. Four thousand years later, a wayfarer travels up the Susa Valley to fulfill the mission to which he has dedicated his life. Nowadays, while an American researcher confronts his insights with a skeptical audience in Dubai, a young Canadian woman arrives in a transforming Turin after the Olympic experience. The discovery of a medieval manuscript, containing the ability to evoke a primordial force, unleashes a series of deaths and murders, forcing an organization to face its first real crisis in seven hundred years. Mysteries, discoveries, struggles, success, and disappointments intertwine. Just when all seems lost, the protagonists realize that a solution must be sought in a distant place, where they face a reality that challenges the very evolution of humankind. They discover that the choices made generations before them are now crucial for existence and that humans, animals, waters, deserts, tribal peoples, and technological communities have always been and will forever be connected to the planet they inhabit... and that hosts them.
