DEATH IS HIS ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE After two hundred and sixty-eight years rule on the Melitan Archipelago, the Order of the Knights Hospitallers surrenders its kingdom without a fight to the forces of the French Republic who are led by Chief General Napoleon Bonaparte. The native Melitans, on the other hand, are not ready to yield their country so easily. So they start to assemble against these new invaders. Haunted by the heroism of his family's past and bent on sacrificing his life for the good of Malitae, Lucian, a countryside peasant, marches with the local militia against the French troops. Left for dead after the fighting is over, he is saved by a nobleman and taken to his palace in Valettae for recovery. Lucian remembers nothing of the battle except that he was the first man to fall in the fighting. While he is a patient in the palace, he is tended by Ophelia, a beautiful young noble lady with whom he quickly falls in love. When Lucian is hardly able to stand and walk, he stumbles upon a deadly conspiracy which leads to his escape from the palace. Returning to his parents' house in the medieval town of Birchircara after ten days, Lucian's tracks are quickly followed by a squad of assassins paid and hired to capture him alive and to slaughter his entire family. Torn between the safety of his family, an impossible love affair and the war, Lucian enters into a macabre world of secret societies, devil-worshiping heads of state and a secret plot that would engulf the whole planet. The Sin Ritual, a suspense thriller set in 18th century Malta, narrates the tale of a man whose life becomes ensnared into intrigues spanned by an almighty family that seeks to control and enslave the world. The Sin Ritual is based on real events and depicts scenes that, although fiction, capture, in excellent detail, the Elites' conspiracies that threaten the safety of humanity to this day.
