THe Archangel's 1st Proctor Book 2: The Well of Souls (Volume 2)

The Archangel’s 1st Proctor [The Well of Souls] tells the story of a noble Varangian merchant, who, after having been asked by Emperor Flavius Heraclius to join him at the Battle of Nineveh, is subsequently chosen by the Archangel Rufael, to bear the many souls of Holy Angels, who, on the conclusion of a battle between themselves and the Fallen Angels, as a result of their unmitigated slaughter of their Fallen brethren, feeling too unworthy to return to Heaven, confused, were in the process of Falling to Hell themselves. Duke Bolli Vekel Rendar, 1St Proctor of the Archangel Rufael; as Pluto de la Suryan, founded, in the eighth century, with St. Augustine de Hippo, the secretive Vekel Augustine Council. One of the many interests of the Vekel Augustine Council is the holy treasure; a mass of religious and magic artefacts, codices, scrolls, sceptres, et cetera. The Holy Treasure was divided into Troves nearly two thousand years ago. One particular Trove, the Bonaventure Trove, was entrusted to the friar, Father Bonaventure, in Italy, in 1646. And was taken to America in the 1600’s by Father Bonaventure’s Brotherhood; the St. Ignatius Brotherhood. It is presently housed in one of the Council’s Californian properties. After a recent raid on the property, a dozen or so items of holy worth were stolen from the Trove. A demon, a businessman and a cardinal, all vie for control of the stolen treasure items, during which time, a council member is kidnapped, and a small faction of Watchers pursue the demon and the businessman, in order to exact revenge on the demon, and acquire a particular powerful item of stolen holy treasure. The kidnapped Council member becomes possessed by the souls contained within a Well of Souls, whereupon a few of the possessing evil souls strive for, and acquire, re-corporalisation…. His colleagues must track him down and perform soul extractions and exorcisms to cleanse him, and also try to recover the stolen items of holy treasure, and prevent them from being used, and the dormant power within, being unleashed.
