Œuvre dérivée du jeu vidéo (qui n'a pas connu un très grand succès) Hellgate London. Simon rentre à Londres rejoindre l'armée des Templiers désertée des années plus tôt. Il vient d'apprendre la mort de son père, tué par les démons qui ravagent la capitale et n'a plus qu'une idée en tête venger. Mais dans l'esprit des Chevaliers, son départ demeure une trahison. Simon doit impérativement regagner leur confiance, car une bataille plus terrible encore que les précédentes se prépare, une bataille qui décidera, de l'avenir du monde. Une bataille contre un monstre redouté depuis la nuit des temps...

The trilogy that began in Exodus continues: 2024: Four years after the Demons opened the planar rift known as the Hellgate, mankind's desperate struggle to survive continues. Simon Cross, expatriate of the secret Templar order, works to find and transport survivors out of the ruined city. Hiding within London's Underground system, Simon is raising an army to fight against the encroaching Darkness. Now, he battles the monsters that roam the city and fends off a jealous Knight who plans to take Simon down...all while striving to reunite the divided Templar forces. Warren Schimmer, a Cabalist who is magically linked to a powerful demon, searches for Goetia. Also known as the Lesser Key of Solomon, this ancient artifact could provide the forces of good or evil with an edge in the ongoing war. Standing in his path is Simon Cross. Warren has made a bargain with his Demon lord for survival and the promise of vengeance against the persuasive Templar...but a Demon's promise is made to be broken.

As Templar Simon Cross fights to lead the hunted survivors of the demon surge toward salvation, time and supplies run short. Simon must penetrate the dark secrets of the demons -- as well as those of his partner in peril, Leah Creasey -- to keep his charges safe. But Leah's organization won't surrender their knowledge easily, even as new technology emerges from the Goetia Manuscript that could help Simon's cause. Warren Schimmer, linked to one of the darkest of the hellspawn -- the demonic Lilith -- is himself also targeted by infernal forces. No longer able to hide, Warren must emerge as a leader and turn a ragged band of Cabalists into an army. But when a vicious weapon that uses dreams against the human survivors of the city draws the Templars, the Cabalists, and the Hunters into the same arena, will they join forces...or turn against one another?
