"The Infernal Society" follows 16-years-old Alfie Cross who has always felt disconnected from the world around him. Being the forbidden child of a human girl and an incubus, he finds himself contemplating the true meaning of his complicated existence, with little hope at a normal future.
But one day when his sick mother passes away, he is forced to attend the institute of his intimidating grandfather Alistair (an ex-member of a catholic demon hunting organization called, the Purinites) who, inspired by his fatherly love for Alfie, made an academic safe haven for the cambion adolescence. There he will meet the shadowlings; Erith, a boy with a spotless reputation, Samara, a girl with a venomous attitude, Dally, a brilliant and kind-hearted scholar; and Silvanus, a mysterious boy who struggles to outgrow his dark past.
At The Infernal Cross Institute, Alfie will embrace his dark existence and learn about the history of all infernals and why cambion exist. In the midst of his education, he will discover why he is so different from his peers, embrace the secret society of infernals, and discover his involvement with a dark prophecy.
