Barcelona, city of mystery, and Antonio Gaudi, its most famous exponent are the subjects of this gripping new thriller for all lovers of religious conspiracy.

The Gaudí Key

Since ancient times their name has been spoken only in hushed tones. Cloaked in anonymity, they guard history's greatest and most devastating secret. In the early twentieth century, when Barcelona was celebrated as the center of modernist art and design, the grand master of an ancient religious brotherhood prepares to die—passing the care of a sacred relic to a prominent member of his order, the revered artist and architect Antonio GaudÍ. The relic, an artifact dating back to the early Christian era, could prove disastrous if it were to fall into inappropriate hands—and many secret societies, some driven by purest evil, inhabit the dark underworld that exists beneath the city's brilliant creative glow. Nearly a century later, MarÍa, the granddaughter of the great architect's apprentice, unwittingly finds herself entrusted with a desperate mission. Following clues, with the help of her mathematician boyfriend, that are embedded in a cryptic message left by her grandfather and in the intricate symbolism of GaudÍ's designs, MarÍa must race against time to unearth the fabled lost object and discover its true meaning . . . with violence, catastrophe, and death in terrifyingly close pursuit.

Gaudí, gran mestre d'una societat secreta, deixa en les seves construccions, les claus per trobar una relíquia. Barcelona, principis del segle XX. La ciutat creix i el modernisme exerceix una atracció irresistible en els amants de l'obscur. Lògies i societats secretes converteixen Barcelona en la capital de l'esoterisme, i l'arquitecte Antoni Gaudí esdevé la peça clau d'una profecia mil·lenària. Immers en la confusió social i coneixedor dels perills que amenacen la seva vida, Gaudí, un home de vida humil i senzilla, amaga una relíquia en el cor de la seva obra, dissenyada a imatge i semblança del gran projecte diví: la natura. Barcelona, principis del segle XXI. Maria ha de complir els designis de la profecia. El temps corre en contra seu. Totes les respostes són en el simbolisme màgic de l'arquitecte, però la gran pregunta s'amaga en les constel·lacions celestials.
