According to the Edda, Odin and his two brothers Vili and Vé created the world together and rule it. But this is only partly true, learns the former investment banker Siebenthal at the end of his lifelong search for God. For neither did they create the universe, nor do they rule it together. Instead, each of the three spirit beings creates a connection to the newborn souls of their own primordial people: Vili thus consecrates the souls of the Africans, Vé those of the Asians, and Odin, whom Siebenthal therefore now calls Euródin, takes care of those of European descent. But realizing that is not enough. Euródin appoints Siebenthal as his prophet and commissions him to found a church and exhort his soul children to unite and preserve themselves until Ragnarök - the apocalypse predicted by the Edda, from whose ashes a new and better world for all men of European descent will arise one day. Siebenthal is to be helped by Armin Weskamp, a family entrepreneur who has been struck by a private disaster. But he hesitates for fear of being pilloried as a racist. When his adolescent daughter Anngrit then secretly founds a cult at her school, it almost leads to a catastrophe. Armin has to make a decision that will change his life - and perhaps that of all Europeans.
The new religion, which the author calls The Profession, was revealed to him by Euródin following the discovery of an artifact. Every person of European descent must follow it, as it is their only hope for salvation and the survival of their people.
