In early 20th-century Barcelona, center of the Modernist movement in Western thought, art and architecture, a dark underworld hides a multitude of secret societies. Antonio Gaud?, a great architect who belongs to an ancient religious brotherhood, pledges to protect an ancient sacred relic. Almost a century later, Mar?a, granddaughter of Gaudi's apprentice, is charged with locating it. Racing against time and evil forces that seek the artifact for themselves, she traces the clues that Gaud? hid in his sculptures, designs, and architecture. 320 pp. August.
