Benjamin Williams died for the first time in the fifteenth century.
That was when he made his deal with Hell.
Centuries later, he walks the streets of modern-day Nottingham as a Hunter for The Conclave, an uneasy alliance between angels and demons charged with keeping the balance between good and evil.
But something is changing.
Monsters are growing stronger. Old enemies are returning. And no one seems willing to explain why.
When a dangerous adversary escapes from Hell and begins feeding on innocent people, Ben is forced to work with a new police inspector who shares the same name and an unsettling resemblance to the wife he lost centuries ago.
As secrets begin to surface and the truth behind the rising darkness slowly unfolds, Ben finds himself caught between the orders of The Conclave, the loyalty of the few people he trusts, and a darkness within himself that refuses to stay buried.
