'It's 1666, and the forces of darkness are spreading across Europe. Dreaming of wielding a blade in epic battles like the father he never knew, sixteen-year-old Jakob von Drachenfels falsifies a letter of introduction to join the Hexenjäger - an elite military order of witch hunters. He soon learns a lesson in the dangers of ambition when he finds himself selected for a team sent to recover a biblical relic from a witch-infested castle. But when the team is betrayed from within, what was already a difficult mission turns into a desperate struggle for survival.' (From the publisher's website.)

'When the resurrected corpse of a prophet reveals that the Tablet of Breaking—a device which, when activated, will destroy the world—lies hidden in a lost city, Jakob and his companions are sent to locate the Tablet before it falls into the hands of the Watchers, four fallen angels who have roamed the earth for millennia. Pursued by an army of undead, the mission is a desperate race against time. From the cliff-top monasteries of Meteora to a trap-riddled mausoleum lying at the bottom of the Dead Sea, the Hexenjäger must stay one step ahead of the fallen angels—for the cost of failure will mean Armageddon!'

So when the medieval bible is stolen by demonic soldiers known as the Sons of Cain, Jakob and his companions form an alliance with an order of English witch hunters and race to London to prevent a horrific prophecy from being fulfilled. Whether battling his way into the prisons of Rotterdam or crossing blades with the Sons of Cain during the Great Fire of London, this will be Jakob's most perilous mission yet, including a nightmarish prison, a charismatic prince, a graveyard of unspeakable horrors, and a race to the death.
