Gabriel Antinori is a young priest and university professor of theology. Beloved by his students for his unconventional intelligence, Gabriel explores the boundaries between science and faith by studying the world of so-called paranormal phenomena. Gabriel collaborates with the Congregation of Truth, an ecclesiastical institution that verifies rationally inexplicable events. Following his encounter with the captivating psychologist Claudia Munari, a surprising connection ignites, an irresistible attraction, spontaneous and passionate yet unrealizable. And their collaboration will create a special chemistry, one that can only arise from the seductive juxtaposition of rationality and faith, science and spirituality. Together, they will discover new perspectives to explain the mysteries they encounter.
Rationality, faith, and mystery intertwine in this fiction. A priest and a psychologist collaborate to resolve paranormal phenomena.

The second season of The Thirteenth Apostle picks up where everything left off: is Gabriel truly the Chosen One who will overthrow the church, or will he be able to change his destiny?
