David Acre doesn't believe in magic. When his girlfriend invites him to a pagan celebration of Halloween, he is sceptical. But when their Icelandic host talks of ghouls, ghosts and human sacrifice, David knows he is serious. Deadly serious. As the tension mounts in the remote country cottage where they are gathered, David is drawn ever more deeply into a very real world of unearthly magic. Magic that ends in murder. David's hunt for the murderer takes him on a journey that changes his life and his beliefs forever.
