Elias Thorne is assigned to the case, and as he delves deeper, he discovers that the killer isn't just a madman; they seem to be enacting a form of twisted "divine justice."

Sixteen ultimate students are taken captive and placed in an underground bunker, forced to kill each other if they want to escape. Most killing games end with a paragon of hope uniting the students against their captor. But this one is a little different. Eden Kawinski, the Ultimate Screenwriter, is no paragon of hope.

But as the bodies start piling up, he's forced to work with Michiru, a mysterious sleuth who hides her talent from everyone. He has no intention of getting close to her, but the killing game pulls the two together in ways he never expected, hopelessly intertwining their fates.

Contrary to popular belief, it does not pay to be an exorcist in the Catholic Church. Few ever survive their encounters with supernatural forces, making it one of the most feared tasked someone may be given. After punching a member of his congregation, the newest incident in a long list of transgressions, the hot-blooded priest Caleb is given an ultimatum: become an exorcist or face excommunication. Not seeing much choice, he chooses to become an exorcist and is shipped off to Moor Abbey, better known among the clergy as 'Exorcism Row'. But thankfully, he is not alone, as he soon partners with a mysterious nun, Bonnie, with a trump card up her sleeve: she is a bona-fide psychic medium who can channel and use spirits.
