Description

In a monastery near Braunschweig, historian Lukas Bellstedt finds the writings of the monk Mamertus, who, in 1189, sets out with a knight to pagan Mecklenburg to search for and destroy a lost book. The book is said to describe a ritual that will make one immortal. Bellstedt considers it the most dangerous book in the world.

In the records, Bellstedt follows the adventures of the two dissimilar men on their journey from the Harz Mountains to Dargun in Mecklenburg and reads about Mamertus' deciphering of the Book of Eternal Life.

Then the knight forces the monk to perform the ritual of immortality…
