Some books are extremely dangerous. Under a veil of knowledge they conceal superstitions and heresies that go against the word of God. But one is especially perverse. It is a book kept in secret by a few men which becomes an obsession for the Inquisition and which, at the end of the 15th Century, generates the greatest persecution ever carried out against a book and its owners. The unhappy existence of the guardians of this extraordinary work is tied up with the fate of the last copy, which must be saved from the lake of fire, where everything God has ruled out of the book of life is burned. "The Pool of Fire" combines fact and fiction with skill and captivating intensity.
