What is knowledge? Is it just a measure of the quantity of things we dump into our brains, or does it depend in any way on how well we know them? My argument, knowledge isn't simply the information of things in the universe, it's our understanding of that information. Imagine, for an instant, that you have the power of God. What would you do then? What would you change? What if you have the ability to comprehend all knowledge known to man? You now know everything there is to know. Now that you have the information, all you need is knowledge... *** The teenage nerd named Aman lives a pretty common life, but life takes a turn when he witnesses his best friend/crush fight a dragon. He meets another dragon on the same day and realises that he's an alchemist, a being with godlike powers and the ability to do anything scientifically possible just by thinking about it. In a world of conspiracies, confusion and love, will he be able to save the world? Cover illustration by Llyn Wildr

An ingenious code hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci. A desperate race through the cathedrals and castles of Europe. An astonishing truth concealed for centuries . . . unveiled at last. While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling symbols. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter. Even more startling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion—a secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci—and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle—while avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move—the explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever.
