Fifteenth-century Rome. War has broken out between witches and humans. The Pontifex herself orders Nicola Eskalibur, a young monk who studied heretical tomes in the Church’s secret archives, to search for a way to combat the witches—by resurrecting an ancient witch! The newly risen “First Witch” is known as Aethevald, and she is beautiful, powerful, and cruel. She will become the Church’s greatest weapon. The curtain rises on an all-new dark harem fantasy.
The war between humans and witches spirals even further out of control. While on the hunt for First Witch Adante, Nikola, Ezel, and Upsula encounter a string of powerful witches. First is a mysterious woman reigning over a volatile mountain town, who captures Nikola and reveals to him the truth of his magical lineage. Later, in the midst of battle with a dangerous, wandering witch, the three companions are left with just one weapon – the cruised corps of First Witch Mylitta. The dark harem fantasy continues!
With the First Witches Ezel and Upsula at his side in the battle against witchcraft, Nikola Eskalibur has the beginnings of a new “Crusader Army.” After being backed into a corner, Nikola has no choice but to revive another First Witch, swelling his magic-wielding ranks to three! But this witch’s powers run deeper than magic and Nikola soon finds himself wooed by the dark newcomer. Just how many witchy wives can one monk have?!
Nikola’s plan has backfired! He was going to prove that Amala isn’t a witch–but Amala is a witch now, thanks to Adante. The other First Witches soon find themselves in the middle of an all-out battle, while Nikola tries to figure out what to do about Amala. Does she still have a human soul?
Nikola thought his mother Agnes dead–killed by witches most foul–but she has suddenly appeared, alive and well. Is it a case of mistaken identity? An unlikely miracle? Or is Agnes the pawn of something far more sinister? The truth shocks young Nikola to his core, and it falls to his lovely companions, the First Witches, to unravel a conspiracy of grave-robbing spellcraft.
The proudest citadel of the Church, Castel SantAngelo, lies in ruins. Nikola rushes to the scene along with the beautiful First Witches–only to find their ranks have now grown plus one. Chebika, a foul-mouthed loose cannon as gorgeous as she is deadly, has been resurrected by persons unknown. And there’s only one thing on her mind: Revenge!
Nikola and his beautiful companions seek the resting place of the Holy Corpses: powerful witches from ancient times who await their resurrection. But can they trust in the good intentions of their new ally, the mysterious Balvidello? All is revealed when the dread witch Adante and her evil coven make their fateful appearance. The final battle–and the consummation of several marriages–looms ahead! FINAL VOLUME
