Riassunto

Demons don't die. They must be killed.

Zita finds her grandfather dazed, battered, confused, trapped in his garden shed. His forehead bears self-inflicted scratches.

According to him, he must open his third eye, tear the skin away from it, so that he can see the demons attacking him.

How can Zita help her delusional grandfather? Can he still be saved? Or is it too late, are the demons in his mind too compelling?

The Caves of Buda—a dark, gripping tale that mixes historic myth with the magic of modern day.
