“By the hands of a fool, darkness shall enter this world.”


An ancient and secret prophecy begins to unfold in the murky backwaters of the coastal city of Norfolk after a man’s body, burnt beyond recognition, is found near the ruins of an old Spanish monastery.

Soon the city becomes the battleground between two subtle but deadly forces, each hunting one another to find and protect the answer to humankind’s oldest question.

Michael Reeve, a junior detective assigned to the murder case is drawn into a brutal struggle between two forces he cannot comprehend, ultimately having to risk his very soul in a fight where true evil never confronts those it strikes down, and where your most feared enemy can become your closest ally.
