With his biggest failure complete, Malamark Murphy awaits execution – or perhaps further interrogation, some obligatory torture, and then execution – by the Noble Institute of Sacred Demonology. Yep, that’s actually the name of the organisation. Pompous bunch of sulphur sniffers.
When a mysterious stranger arrives seeking information, Mal recounts the events that led to his downfall, imprisonment, and impending death. He describes how he masterfully – and quite accidentally – pickled his first demon, how he tried to lie and cheat his way into the Institute, and how he ultimately failed everyone he ever loved and respected. Bleak, right? It gets worse.
The nefarious Prince Moloch moves to claim the mortal world, and the Noble Institute seems impotent to act. The threat is real and without his demons, Mal is little more than an imprisoned pickler with a story to tell.
Demonology & the Art of Pickling Demons answers all the big questions:
- What is Moloch’s endgame?
- Who is the clandestine Enochian Order?
- What is in the mysterious silver vault?
- And, most importantly, how exactly does one pickle a demon?
Science meets superstition in a war that seems destined to consume the mortal realm and usher in a new age of demonic dominance, and one mildly astonished young man is at the centre of it all.
Are you ready to hear the tale of the one they call Mal the Redeemer?
