As Chaucer's pilgrims shelter for the night, it's the physician's turn
to enthral his fellow travellers with a terrifying tale. When Brother
Anselm and his novice Stephen are summoned to the Church of St
Michael's, Candlewick, to perform an exorcism, the demons that plague
the church appear to have been summoned by an infamous sorcerer known as
the Midnight Man. But what has he unwittingly unleashed - and why? Is
there any link to the disappearance of young women in the area? Before
Anselm can get to the truth, he must first uncover the identity of the
mysterious Midnight Man.
