However, Sophie, Saunires granddaughter, discovers a code left by his grandfather that makes she believe Langdon is not guilty. Thus, Sophie helps Langdon to run away from the police and they begin to collect information about the Priory of Sion, a secret society where Saunire was member. By the time Langdon and Sophie discover a lot of things about this secret society, they found out that the main aim of the Prioty of Sion was to keep safe the decedents of Jesus Christ.

In the last pages, we also find out that Saunires murder was ordered by a very radical Catholic group, the Opus Dei. The members of this team were afraid Saunire and the Priory of Sion could reveal to the

entire world that Jesus actually married and had children and lived as a human rather than a God on Earth.
