The struggle between good and evil is as old as time itself. But at what cost must God win? In Macbeth"s Scotland, Brannan Lachlan, the future Earl of Glaxton has everything: a pregnant bride to be, wealth, and a loving family. A spiritual man, nothing could be better than to be in Lachlan"s shoes until one night when he and his brothers are attacked by Raum Kroni, a demon from Hell. Transformed into Lucifer"s beast, a tiefling, Brannan refuses to give in to his demonic urges. Exiling himself, he remains close enough to see the demon who changed him, destroy his family. Summoning all his power and anguish, Brannan returns to save his brother and daughter. "The old priest"s second choice emerged from my memories. You could terrorize all of Scotland and feed on your fellow man for all eternity or until there are no men left." Left with little choice, Brannan vows to fight evil both in Scotland and within himself, constantly fending off the wants of his devil-touched self. Only when Raum Kroni explains that Brannan himself has the soul of an Angel inside, does Brannan finally understands his purpose in life: To thwart evil. Be it demons, vampires, harpies or even his devil-touched brother, he sacrifices everything in the end to prove that good really does triumph over evil. Or does it?
