The sorcerer
When Mason, a young scientist, escorts his lover to a wild sexual orgy he suddenly finds himself unwittingly initiated into a ruthless and dedicated coven - a coven with unparallelled Satanic powers spurred on to ever greater heights of depravity by its power-crazed 'master'. In return for his services Mason is promised untold delights, but should he fail he is assured of a ghastly and horrible vengeance. His task - to unravel the secrets of the Jewel, the most sought-after goal of the black arts, the elixir of eternal life. But as he becomes acquainted with the perverted ways of the coven he develops peculiar powers - powers which the coven hadn't bargained on. Powers which are growing all the time. As the bid for the Jewel becomes bloodier and more violent he bides his time. Sooner or later he knows his moment will come...

Ανθυπομέτρο σκουπίδι που δεν είχε την αξιοπρέπεια να είναι καν πορνό ανάγνωσμα (κάθε σκηνικό μαγείας συνοδεύεται με σεξάκι). Νόμιζα ότι θα ήταν έστω λίγο διασκεδαστικό αλλά ούτε αυτό. Καλύτερα να δείτε Μπάτσελορ.

Partial spoiler alert!!!!
Lured by sex, the protaganist finds he cannot escape the coven. He's been chosen to fulfil a specific role and if he cannot complete the task given to him, he will be replaced. Within this context the protaganist works at freeing himself from the group and leader that have bound him to their purpose.
Plenty of occult rituals with a Satanic philosophy underpinning the workings of the coven; might is right. There are however aspects that modern Satanic groups would find contentious.
With that said, the book is well worth a read to anyone interested in the occult.
As with his other two books, I have read this a few times over the years.

A great page turner novel. If you can get your hands on a copy of this novel, I highly recommend you do so. The author really makes you believe in all the supernatural happenings in the book. Wish I knew what that last page said in English though :o/

Excellent witch/coven/power fantasy
Nice quick read and the flow/use of phrasing is enchanting
Tw: for sex/orgies, assault, murder/gore and psychic rape, mentions of young girls in sexual ritual
