End of World War II. Humanity is preparing for a new beginning, made of peace and hope. Ásgarðr, the Eternal Kingdom: the pantheon of the Norse gods is reunited by the ruler, Óðinn, to punish the four Æsir, who acted behind the conflict on Miðgarðr, the Earth. Loki, Baldr, Týr, and Thòrr are exiled among mortals.

Rome. Under Saint Peter’s Basilica, the Reverend Giulio Viola leads a secret organization of psychics, who sense the arrival on Earth of the four exiled Æsir. The discovery brings into play, in addition to the Vatican, the religious leaders of the main monotheistic religions, each defending millennial dogmas.

In a succession of twists and turns, from Dubai to Rome, from Tehran to Las Vegas, everyone will have to deal with their conscience, in search of the absolute truth. For the time of the gods has come, by now.
