The Knight of Death has a problem much bigger than he can imagine. While he is trying to save his young son from kidnappers, his Brothers of the Order are working with him and against him. One of them has already rescued his son unbeknownst to him. Another one has rescued the woman he loves, unbeknownst to him. A third one will do anything to murder him and take his Mystery from him... again. A fourth is dragged into the third one's insanely gruesome plans. A fifth is attempting to mediate the situation and bring about a peaceful compromise. A sixth one is ready to be rid of the boy altogether up to and including having him murder his own son in cold blood.
Add to these troubles, the two bumbling American kidnappers who want his alchemical secret of the Philosopher's Stone. One is willing to kill him just to see if he is immortal and then murder his own partner if necessary.
Further and even more disturbing, one of his Brothers of the Order has taken advantage of his absence to seduce the boy's mother. She finds herself in a hopeless situation with no clear plan which will not result in losing everything she holds dear in life. Her only salvation rests in the hands of the Order's timidly unassuming healer.
After much confusion, suffering, murder, mayhem, and a terrifying conflagration brought on by misused Angelic Magick, everyone loses, and yet, much is changed and the stage is set for even more trouble for the Order of the Red Cross of Gold all stemming from one simple change to their Primitive Rule of Order.
