Satan is back and out for blood. Crestwood Lake is a small, secluded town in the woods of northern Vermont—and an epicenter of evil. Colonized in 1693, in the aftermath of the Salem Witch Trials, Crestwood Lake has been battling the dark forces since its inception. Lucifer intends to reclaim the tortured community and establish a hell on Earth. With a renewed coven of ruthless witches and demons, he is prepared to unleash his vengeance. Opposing Lucifer once again, is police chief Butch Morgan, this time assisted by a secret society of demonologists, and mysterious supernatural forces. In a saga spanning four centuries and two continents, the balance of power between heaven and hell will be decided in Crestwood Lake.
