A Scottish electronics tycoon receives a demand from the mysterious Ancient Order of Moridura to deliver a young physicist, who claims to have discovered the source of gravitational waves, to a remote monastery in Spain, or face death. Alistair Mackinnon, accompanied by his friend Corr and the enigmatic Dr. Blade, set out for the forbidding monastery of Moridura on the rocky perimeter of a meteor crater in Extremadura. What is the terrible secret of the monks of Moridura, and their alter egos, the hermandad, a secret brotherhood? What truth lies behind the legend of an ancient entity in the depths of the monastery - La Bestia? Why is the American defence industry so interested in Doctor Blade's discovery? What will be impact of the presence of a beautiful young woman in the all-male environment of the monastery? The exploration of the complex motivations and emotions of its diverse and vital characters, including the strange young monk, Mateo, the innkeeper, Manuel Ortega, the American industrialist, Red Lonnen and the aristocratic Ferdinand of Moridanza, and the dynamic between secular and spiritual objectives, violence and negotiation, are combined in a riveting action thriller with a unique dénouement.
