Alistair Stone, once a celebrated bishop, is losing his faith. Years of unanswered prayers, the constant sting of human suffering, and the hypocrisy he sees within the Church have eroded his belief, leaving him vulnerable to the whispers of doubt that dance at the edges of his once unwavering devotion.
When personal tragedy strikes and his world is shattered, Alistair finds solace in the forbidden—ancient texts that speak of fallen angels and the seductive power of self-determination. He begins to question the divine order, drawn to the story of Lucifer, the Morning Star cast out for his rebellion.
As Alistair delves deeper into the darkness, he is consumed by a primal energy, a dark echo of the divine call he once felt. On a moonless night, in the solitude of his study, he succumbs to the seductive voice that promises liberation from the shackles of blind faith. He makes a pact, offering his soul in exchange for power, forever altering the course of his life.
Now, the once revered bishop is a vessel for something ancient and malevolent. He must confront the consequences of his choices, the devastation he has wrought, and the terrifying power he now wields. But can he find redemption, or is he forever lost in the abyss he has embraced?
This gripping tale of faith, doubt, and the nature of evil will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
