Set in England in the 1500s, this is a tale of good versus evil.  Of fantasy and devil worship.  Of demons and monsters.  Against this background, we find children fighting these forces.  Thomas and Kate are two children from Yorkshire that have witnessed the evil that Obadiah Demurral has done.  Demurral is a local vicar who desires to be as powerful as God.  Thomas and Kate team up with Raphah, a young boy from Africa who is also searching for Demurral.  Is there anyway these three children can possibly defeat the powerful Demurral?  And can they save the world as it spins into Armageddon?
