Publisher's Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Arjen Staufen struggles to outlast a harsh Alaskan winter when he receives a vague letter from eight centuries ago. It's William. He's in trouble. And he needs Arjen's help. But going back in time again means a journey through hell. Rejoined with his lovely demoness, Arjen winds up in the year 1277 - just in time to get framed for the pope's murder in Rome. Hunted all the way to Jerusalem, he's tasked with reclaiming the throne of his ancestors and later that of the whole empire. Arjen reluctantly climbs the ladder to imperial glory until it costs him the very love of his life. When the abandonment of written history spells the Devil's imminent return, Arjen must descend into the lake of fire to make the ultimate sacrifice.
