"Pestel’s plot is original and compelling, and her story is startling, scary, moody and atmospheric all at once." - Readers' Favorite

A priest is killed in a confessional, and demon hunters Johann Gunter and Robert Durling come to the church to investigate.

When they speak to the one and only eyewitness to the murder, they realize they are dealing with something supernatural.

Speaking with the remaining priest from the parish, Johann and Robert learn of an accidental death from several years earlier. Not only does Johann now question the integrity of the priest, but it causes him to wonder if there is a vengeful spirit at work here.

Burning the remains of the corpse tied to the suspected vengeful spirit should solve the problem, and with the priest's help, Johann and Robert locate the burial site, and do just that. But when another victim is claimed after the corpse is burned, they realized something more powerful is in play...a demon.

The fight to exorcise the demon reaches fever pitch. It nearly costs one demon hunter his life—and the other must agree to the unspeakable to save him.
