'The thrilling conclusion to acclaimed Australian filmmaker Bill Bennett’s dark witchcraft series will keep you riveted and enthralled to the very last page.

'To prepare herself for the final climactic battle between dark and light, Lily goes to a remote region of Japan to study under a legendary ninja grand master. But she returns as the Golden Order is about to unleash Ganglia, a disturbance designed to kill thousands and wreak global havoc. Can Lily’s own powers of witchcraft pass the ultimate test in a deadly confrontation with the Beast, son of Satan come to earth?

'She spun around and saw a shape in shadow. Dark on dark. Gleaming eyes and teeth, with an old dank smell of gravesites and death. Then a sudden glint of metal – a sword. The moonlight shifted. Lily gasped and stepped back from the Fallen Priest. He was holding the Soul Cutter.'
