ABOUT SOULFINDER
Retter is a combat veteran reluctant to accept his calling as a parish priest. But the evil he encounters in his investigation — a sinister cult and the demons it worships — may convince him otherwise. There are many tales to tell about this band of brothers and their clashes with evil. 'Soulfinder: Demon's Match' gives readers, by the last page, a taste of the vast and unexplored spiritual battlefield that these men face.
