A poor scholar living in medieval Flanders sells his soul for the promise of wealth, power, and forbidden knowledge. Rising from obscurity through dark sorcery and cunning manipulation, he schemes his way through the corrupt courts and cloisters of Europe, ultimately ascending to the highest seat in Christendom-the throne of St. Peter itself.
Yet every Faustian bargain extracts its price. As the master of black arts sits crowned in Rome, the forces he once commanded begin to turn against him. The demons he has long controlled grow restless, and the inevitable reckoning draws near. In a tale of towering ambition and supernatural terror, this classic novel explores the corruption of absolute power and the inescapable doom that awaits those who traffic with darkness.
