The second gripping novel in acclaimed Australian filmmaker Bill Bennett's compelling series about modern-day witchcraft.

Lily heard a sound that sent her into a sudden inexplicable panic. A sound so primitive, it chilled her to her bones. Try as she might, Lily could not control the fear that surged through her. The creature was an emissary of Satan.

As the celestial firestorm night of Unholy nears, Lily finds herself caught deep within the shadow world of black witchcraft—a world more evil than she ever could have imagined.

In the race to save her mother's soul, Lily will need all of her strength and newfound powers to battle the elite witches hell-bent on her capture.

A relentless page-turner, with plot twists that will shock and disturb—Unholy unleashes the darkness that seeks to destroy the world as we know it.
