Aprašymas

Underground revolutionary group, The Nail, and their newest member, Luke have kidnapped 23-year-old heiress Adeline Woolsaw, whose wealthy parents run the Woolsaw Group, a vast outsourcing company. They run everything from prisons and hospitals to military bases ? quietly suffocating the country with the help of powerful friends in government. The Nail?s plan: to use the kidnapping to draw attention to the Woolsaw Group and their terrible practices. But with Adeline bundled into their van, The Nail discover two things. The first is that she?s just about to give birth. And the second is that this isn?t a normal baby. In fact, it has devastating supernatural powers. Because the father of this baby wasn?t a man, it was? something else. Something that her parents make human sacrifices to on an altar in the basement of their Highgate mansion. And all this time the Woolsaw Group has been preparing the ground for the Woolsaws? real aim: an infernal new kingdom that will rise with Adeline?s son sitting on its throne.
