Then Stefano lifted up the bag to the height of the desk, turned it upside down, let the contents fall on the table and said. 'The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church." Whilst Sara Farnese pours over ancient texts in the silent Vatican reading room, a brutal murder is taking place in a nearby church. Then suddenly a crazed man enters the Vatican carrying a bloodied bag. He walks up to Sara's desk.

It seems that at any time she could be the next chosen sacrifice...
