Perched precariously on the eight-foot high wooden window jamb, Billy Power reached awkwardly through the partially opened transom, searching blindly in the darkened room for a handhold. Finding one, he slowly pulled himself through the narrow gap. Several times he grit his teeth; the sharp edges scraped unmercifully against his exposed back. 'How do I get myself into these situations?' he wondered as a feeling of doom swept through him like a cold arctic wind. He was too far in to back out now. Hanging only by his fingertips, he let go of his hold and dropped, landing safely. His heart began racing wildly as he moved forward, unable to see clearly in the dimness. An odd movement caught his eye. 'Did something move?' he wondered, freezing mid-step, straining to see, but unable to make out anything in this nightmare. Beads of perspiration bulleted their way down his youthful forehead as shadowed images crept into focus. Billy continued slowly into the unknown, questioning if he had seen a movement in the void. A dark shape lay motionless on the bed. Suddenly ... bang, bang, bang! The thunderous explosion of a fist pounded repeatedly on the wooden door. Bang, bang, bang! Then silence.

Enter a place where malicious evil scrapes at the walls, crying out from a never-sated maw. A terrible presence lurking among devil-driven halls where only the damned might expect to survive, and even then not in peace--or for long. The catacomb sat ignored for centuries by all but those brave few daring enough to explore the profound silence of the Christian dead. But now new eyes have fallen upon it and unfamiliar boots march into those depths. Some intent on performing evil, others to retrieve the last holy relic remaining in a place where shadows grow into a mockery of life.These are the violent terrors that Albrecht Ebner--a treasure hunter--must negotiate and survive without resorting to the mercenary ruthlessness he dreads. A bizarre descent into an isolated world of authentic occult horror, fraught with danger at every turn, from vile Satanists and vicious criminals alike. Yet worse still lurks within those rotted vaults.
