On a journey to discover who he truly is - and who he might yet become - Emile sets out with a noble dream: to rise as a legendary Paladin, a holy knight sworn to wield the light against the darkness and protect those who cannot protect themselves.
But corruption festers even in sacred places, and a series of mysterious events soon diverts Emile onto an unexpected path - one steeped in the arcane. As he begins to harness powers beyond the steel of a knight's blade, he must learn to serve the light from within the shadows.
Yet honor does not come without sacrifice. Tested in ways he never imagined, Emile will have to decide just how far he is willing to go - and what parts of himself he is willing to lose - to uphold the very ideals that first set him on this path.

The Demon Project
Paris, 2018. After the Vatican Incident, demon manifestation surges to historic highs-no one more emblematic than Lucifer himself, a being whose very origin is shrouded in superstition. Born from ancient fear or perhaps something from the stars, Lucifer is a 2,000-year-old embodiment of hell, wielding manifestation powers that once toppled the city of Pella and scorched ancient empires in mere moments. Amid fabled demonic ascendancy, a new generation fights back. Emile, a promising exorcist-in-training at the Paris School of Special Arts, is thrust into the storm as he gains the power of manifestation. Emile's destiny is tangled with that of Benoît Rousseau, the prodigy from a line of exorcist royalty, but Emile's perspective is different: he is not nobility, but an orphaned survivor whose personal connection to the demonic goes deeper than anyone suspects. Inside him burns a potential as volatile as it is unique, drawing the interest of allies, enemies, and Lucifer himself. With Lucifer's legacy of destruction looming and the demonic tide rising, Emile must master his own manifestation abilities-powers governed not just by belief, but by raw courage and a will to stand before the oldest evil. When the devil returns, will humanity's belief save them, or doom them? DEMONS • DANGER • DEATH
