Dark Supernatural

Der Journalist Peter Adam erwacht im Kölner Dom - ohne Erinnerung daran, was in den letzten Tagen geschehen ist. Ringsum hebt sich der Boden, die Hölle tut sich auf, Menschen stehen in Flammen. Hat die Zeit der Apokalypse begonnen? Selbst der Papst im fernen Rom, der sich Petrus II. nennt, scheint von einem Dämon besessen zu sein und tut nichts, um das drohende Verhängnis abzuwenden.

Uralte Zeichen, die den Weg zu einem der größten Mysterien der Menschheitsgeschichte weisen. Dem Ursprung des Bösen.
