Never has the hope of freeing Ben seemed so naive. Never has the possibility of saving the students of Cania Christy seemed so implausible. And never has the promise of a normal life for Anne, Ben and their families seemed like such a silly, foolish fairy tale. Anne is dealing with a devil. And that devil won't relent until he's got everything he wants. Including Anne's soul. But if the finest trick of the devil is to persuade mankind he doesn't exist, then the finest trick up Anne's sleeve is to expose her former headmaster for all he is. There's just one problem. The devil is always a step ahead--and he'll stop at nothing to keep his hold on the world . . . and Anne under his control.
