In a medieval citadel, in the middle of a dark alley, a strange bundle changes hands. A maleficent group conspires to worship the Evil One. Ancient rites, the Holy Inquisition, the Plague, the trials... Will the Devil's adepts achieve their objective? Witches, soldiers, noble people, priests, and... a bunch of characters are mixed in an uncanny potion with an ending almost impossible to imagine. It is better not to reveal the secret contained in this book, in which Death marches on every page without embarrassment. The followers of the saga will know, at last, the origin of the evil ring whose curse has scourged many dynasties throughout time. This novel can be read independently of the rest of the saga.
