Richleau prepares his defences against black magic

Set in 1920s London, Duc de Richleau and Rex van Ryn rescue their friend Simon Aron and another young initiate, Tanith, from a devil worshipping cult. During the rescue they disrupt a ceremony on Salisbury Plain in which Satan himself appears. They escape to the home of Richleau's friends and are followed by the group's leader, Mocata, who has a psychic connection to the two initiates. After visiting the house to discuss the matter, and an unsuccessful attempt to influence the initiates to return, he forces Richleau and the other occupants to defend themselves through a night of black magic attacks.
