Based on the untrue writings of the Satanic Panic. The Satanic Panic was a moral outcry in the United States over supposed “satanic” influence in media that were warping the youth of America. Claims that playing an elf in Dungeons and Dragons could lead to demonic possession, that playing heavy metal music backwards would reveal satanic messages, and that therapists could uncover repressed memories of satanic ritual abuse, were all too common. Volumes and volumes of material were produced on this fake subject.

However, power has its price, as Jon and his friends quickly discover. One-by-one they begin to become consumed by their own desires and hatreds. Jon learns there is method behind the madness of his life, as his Father begins to bring him closer and closer into the ways of the cult. Ultimately, Jon must make a choice between all the pleasures of the earth and the future of his soul. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

Si Seraphina Velarde—isang masipag, maganda, at palaban sa buhay ay isang babaeng nahulog sa bawal na pag-ibig. Isa siyang kabit—isang relasyong lihim, isang pagmamahalang itinatago. Sa kabila ng init at atensyong natatanggap niya, nananatiling may kulang… sapagkat hanggang kailan siya magiging pangalawa? Hanggang kailan siya mamahalin sa dilim? Dahil kahit ilang ulit pa siyang angkinin sa mga gabing punong-puno ng pagnanasa, may isang alaala pa rin siyang hindi matakasan, isang gabing nangyari walong buwan na ang nakalipas. Isang one-night stand na punong-puno ng damdamin, init, at koneksyon. Hindi niya matandaan ang mukha ng lalaki, pero hindi niya malilimutan ang haplos. Ang gabing iyon ang nagbukas sa kanya sa tunay na sarap—ang klase ng sensasyong hindi niya muling naranasan. At ang lalaking iyon ay si Pierce Damien Saveedra—isang makapangyarihan, misteryoso, at hindi niya inaakalang muling papasok sa buhay niya. Sa bawat pagtatama ng kanilang mga mata, sa bawat paglapit, dama ni Seraphina na siya ang lalaking iyon—ang unang dumampi sa kanya, ang lalaking hindi lang nagpagising sa kanyang katawan kundi sa kanyang pagkatao. Si Pierce ang lalaking nagparamdam sa kanya ng pagmamahal na hindi palihim. Sa mga titig at haplos niya, ramdam ni Seraphina na hindi siya kailanman magiging pangalawa. Naramdaman nyang karapat-dapat din siyang mahalin ng buo, walang kahati, at walang limitasyon. Sa piling ni Pierce, unti-unti niyang natutuklasan kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng pagmamahal na totoo—yung hindi kailangang itago, hindi kailangang ipaglaban sa dilim… kundi isang pagmamahal na malaya, malinaw, at buong-buo.
