The Book of Shadows

More about the book

When Bret Kenway came to New Orleans to gather background material for a new novel dealing with voodoo the abandoned mansion outside town he rented for atmosphere proved more than inspiration. The hypnotic effect of a painting of a young woman discovered in the attic draws him into a strange shadowy world controlled by the cruelest of demons, Asmodeus. There, he meets the woman in the painting and her two companions. Bret finds that his only hope of returning to his world depends on releasing the tortured innocent souls from the world of torment they are forced to inhabit. To do this he must enter Asmodeus' castle on the burning lake, find his grimoire, and burn it. The three set out on a mission to the castle, but before reaching their goal encounter danger at every turn in the form of witches, a band of troglodytes, and an evil wizard who sits at the right hand of the demon they strive to destroy.
