Synopsis

From the acclaimed author of Mapp and Lucia comes the gothic tale of a cursed aristocratic family and two brothers vying to claim its dark legacy. On a visit to the Sussex town of Rye, Queen Elizabeth I found herself captivated—and soon seduced—by a penniless young shepherd named Colin Stanier. According to family legend, their encounter was orchestrated by the devil himself. Colin had made a Faustian bargain to win success in all of life’s endeavors; a bargain that would be kept in the family by generations of eldest sons, so long as they maintain the Satanic covenant.   Centuries later, Raymond Stanier is the rightful inheritor of the family mansion and fortune. But his younger twin brother, Colin, who bears a striking resemblance to the portrait of his namesake, is willing to lie, seduce, and perhaps even kill to take the family seat for himself.   This saga of ambition, evil, and sensuality moves between generations and across the world from Rye to London, Naples, and Capri. “A story of greed and treachery, sibling rivalry, simmering passions and strange desires, Colin is compulsive reading” (Peter Burton).  This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

    As the painting of The Temptation of Christ hangs ominously on the wall, young Samuel Morgan is plagued by its haunting presence. But it's not just the painting that's causing him anguish. Samuel's involvement in the occult with an insane witchcraft scientist, Alan Wilson, has set free a terrifying demon—Beelphegor—with devastating effect. 
    Desperate for a solution, Samuel's mother, Marilyn Morgan, seeks help from doctors and psychiatrists. But their support is ineffective in the face of such malevolent forces. In a last-ditch effort, Marilyn turns to Reverend Stephen Mason, a priest-counsellor known for his expertise in exorcisms. But before he can begin the daunting task of driving out the demon that possesses Samuel, Reverend Mason must first overcome his own faltering faith and uncertainties about God. 
    As the battle between good and evil rages on, the stage is set for a final showdown between the reverend and the demonic Beelphegor on holy ground—where the fate of Samuel's soul hangs in the balance.
