Back cover: Paris 1935. At the foot of the cathedral of Notre-Dame, forty men are lying on the ground waiting to be ordained priests. Among them is Vango, nineteen years, a past shrouded in mystery and a future as uncertain, because - just before the ceremony begins - the police made his entrance to the churchyard to arrest him.
But what crime he committed? Vango does not know it and escape by climbing up the facade and towers of the cathedral. The police, however, is not the only interested in the guy, there is also a young woman who eagerly follows the flight as a man of shady to open fire on him. Escaped arrest, the boy tries to get in touch with his mentor, Father Jean, and discovered to his being accused of the assassination of the priest. About
plot behind Vango, Vango and who is in reality? Growing up in the Aeolian Islands, where he had mysteriously landed in three years with his nurse, Mademoiselle, who loved him like a son, protecting him from his own past, we do not know much even for him.
Around Vango rotate historical figures such as Hugo Eckener, the captain of the Graf Zeppelin, and other fancy like Zephyr, the head of the convent monaco Secret of Alicudi. Then there's Ethel, Scottish rich, young and deeply in love with him. Finally there are the enemies, terrible, ruthless, one for all: Stalin! Just him, the Soviet dictator himself.

To me it seems really interesting, and you?
