The premise

For centuries, a secret Order of priests has existed within the Church. A renegade priest, Father Alex Bernier, is sent to Rome to investigate the mysterious death of one of the Order's most revered members. Following a series of strangely similar killings, Bernier launches an investigation that forces him to confront unimaginable evil.

Horror Vault's take

When a revered priest dies under suspicious circumstances in Rome, a young renegade clergyman is dispatched to uncover the truth lurking within the shadowy corridors of an ancient secret Order. His investigation pulls him deeper into a web of theology, mysticism, and mortal danger that the Church would rather keep buried. Ancient rites and a series of eerily connected deaths suggest that something far older and darker than institutional cover-up may be at work. Faith itself becomes a weapon — and a liability — as the line between sacred and profane begins to dissolve.
