Accompanied by her beloved Uncle Orvel, she sets out for Jerusalem and an unforeseen confrontation with the powers of darkness. Following clues and searching for closure, they find themselves in the very pit of the center of evil, forced into a battle which none of them is fully prepared to fight. Their adventure leads them to the holy city of Jerusalem to the burial site of Moses, then on to Istanbul, Pergamum, and eventually Germany, where they face an ancient evil in the bowels of her malevolent lair. The satanic forces they face have their goal as the conquest of Europe, then eventually the entire earth, but first, these demons must rid the world of Maria, her uncle, and her lover before their unholy war can be unleashed.
