Devil's Lair is a thrilling adventure through Dante's Inferno. It is the year of our Lord 1349. The world is dying as the Black Death sweeps through Europe. One hope survives: a vision of the Holy Grail. Stolen by Lucifer, the Grail now lies in the lowest circle of Hell. To save the human race, someone must steal the Grail from the Devil and return it to the world above. Four pilgrims—a knight, a friar, a poet, and a prophetess—journey down into Hell to confront their deepest fears...and the Devil himself.

Hey, you know my opinion about this book! Fantastico (is that an Italian word?) Readers, authors, read the reviews on Amazon and buy it. Definitely worthwhile.
