Synopsis

In 1790s Virginia, farmer Adam Livingston's comfortable life is upended when a dying Catholic stranger curses his family after being denied the last rites. Soon after, a malevolent entity known as "The Wizard" begins terrorizing his household-cutting linens into perfect crescent shapes, creating poltergeist disturbances, and destroying property through unexplainable means.

As the supernatural attacks escalate, Adam watches helplessly as his farm deteriorates and his family suffers. When various Protestant ministers fail to rid his home of the entity, Adam reluctantly turns to Catholic priests for help. Fr. Denis Cahill, a robust Irish missionary with a checkered past, and Fr. Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin, a Russian prince turned priest, must confront the demonic presence in a harrowing spiritual battle.

Based on documented historical events that occurred in what is now West Virginia, this story masterfully weaves historical record with fiction, bringing to life a fascinating supernatural mystery that persisted for years and was investigated by the Catholic Church.

Set against the backdrop of religious tensions in early America, this meticulously researched novel explores themes of forgiveness, religious conversion, and the eternal battle between good and evil, while presenting a compelling supernatural mystery that will keep readers turning pages until its dramatic conclusion.
