Valko Vasseur wears the faces of his prey and chooses each one with cruel precision. A shapeshifter with no conscience, he turns torture into art, collecting trophies that reflect his victims’ flaws. He slips into the familiar faces of friends and loved ones to betray their trust and savor their pain. Driven by a dark pact, he seeks to unleash the greater fiend Astaroth upon the world. With the demon at his side, he plans to watch the world burn with mad glee.
Kalen

Kalen’s quiet life on a remote island shatters when a secret order arrives. They accuse Kalen’s childhood friend, Logan, of planning to summon the dread fiend Astaroth. Torn between loyalty and duty, Kalen joins the hunt to find his friend and prove his innocence. His journey forces him to cross paths with Valko, who has chosen Kalen to be one of his next victims. Before the end, Kalen will confront a startling truth: Logan may be the world’s last hope or its final curse.
Astaroth
