Crucible

About “Crucible”

Commander Gray Pierce returns home on Christmas Eve to find his house destroyed, his pregnant lover missing, and his best friend's wife, Kat, lying unconscious in the kitchen. With no evidence to guide him, Pierce turns to Kat, the only possible witness, but she is in a semi-comatose state and unable to speak. A neurologist devises a method to temporarily unlock her mind, allowing her to answer a few critical questions. What Pierce learns connects to ancient mysteries tied to the Spanish Inquisition and the infamous Malleus Maleficarum, a medieval text associated with witch hunts. This discovery sets Sigma Force on a urgent mission, uncovering secrets from the past that reveal a terrifying present and a future threatened by destruction. The story forces them to confront deep questions about the nature of the soul.
