Description: 1866. Father Oliver Grafield, a young Catholic priest and exorcist, is called from his parish work for an interview with Archbishop Manning. Oliver is accompanied by his sister Emma, who has long been concerned about her brother's welfare. The Archbishop tells Oliver that he is to investigate the hauntings taking place at Candleton Hall, the estate of Lady Alice Seaton, a widowed member of the old Catholic aristocracy. Within hours of their arrival, Oliver and Emma witness the phenomena: blood pools on the floor; a woman dressed in black walks the Long Gallery; phantom knocking; cries in the night; hurried footsteps; and, above all, a sense of malevolence that seeps through the house like an evil mist. A natural scholar, Oliver delves into the Seaton's family secrets; in so doing, he discovers four centuries of chilling truths.
