Publisher's Synopsis
Eisner Award-winning B.P.R.D. artist Guy Davis returns to the dark world of The Marquis in an all-new graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics! In eighteenth-century Venisalle, faith governs life and death, and the guilty hide their shame behind masks, showing their faces only in the secret rites of the confessional. It is to this stronghold of the Inquisition that the souls of Hell have escaped to possess the living, spreading sin, murder, and chaos. Amid the carnage, one man is cursed with the clarity to recognize the devils that prey on his countrymen - and the means to return them to the fires of Hell! Someone is stealing the unborn children of Venisalle. Bereft of the faith that had sustained him, with both army and Inquisition calling for his head, the Marquis finds himself facing a devil like none he has fought before, as the ministry and the armies vie for control of the city and the fate of its masked savior.
