Smouldering evil is created is created from the negative emotions of hatred, fear and anger; a real energy that manifests, feeds and sustains those darkest forces. Thwarted before, Satan's rebirth is again in motion, and the Devils advocates, the evil Baron de Henchman and Lord Ainsbury who bargained with their souls aim to keep their end of the pact and the eternal youth that is now theirs, but someone threatens it all. When visited late one night by a beautiful unicorn, sixteen-year-old Nicholai is shown another reality when he travels, out of body, to the astral plane. When the vilest of evil attacks him and takes all that he knows, a beautiful girl helps him and he discovers a mind shattering pledge he made in another life. This pact, made three generations before the present, draws him deeper into a world filled with paranormal dangers and uncertainty. Needing unwavering faith to unlock the powers of the universe, Nicholai is armed with three mystical aids: The Empathic Sash, A cloak to shield his aura, and The Sword of Truth. However, he learns that the most powerful weapon of all is within him and that 'love is the key'. As the time of Lucifer's ascension dawns, Nicholai is forced to find the courage and fortitude to face up to his destiny and a terrifying conflict that he must win to save not only his true love from the clutches of evil, but the very future of humankind.
