Synopsis

Richard Ulrome worked for billionaire recluse Simon Miaolo. At first, Anne Blackwell was pleased for her fiance's career. But then it seemed that Richard was a prisoner at Monteine Castle, Miaolo's headquarters. Anne realized that a master of evil in a satanic ritual of sacrifice and renewal was manipulating Richard and herself. And like others before her, Anne turned to Ruane the Witchfinder. A man who would listen. A man waging a private war against the Devil.
