In a 21st century torn between dazzling technological progress and the deepest human misery, an enigmatic man holds the key to a forgotten power: Alchemy.

Rama Phoebi, heir to ancestral formulas capable of transmuting base metal into pure gold and touching immortality, faces a terrifying dilemma: use his knowledge to heal a world devastated by greed and injustice, or unleash a chaos that destroys everything?

From the seclusion of an ancient Catalan monastery to the heart of social unrest in a futuristic Barcelona, Rama begins the 'Great Work' ('Gran Obra'), a visionary project to challenge the system. But his power attracts the attention of dark forces – relentless corporations and corrupt governments – that will not hesitate to use violence, betrayal, and murder to silence him.

Can one man alone, armed with the secrets of Hermes, forge a new destiny for humanity, or is he doomed to be consumed by his own creation? Immerse yourself in a thrilling philosophical adventure where the science of the future collides with the wisdom of the past.
