[edit] Plot summary
The story is a horror and romance which main theme's follow that of romance, horror, love, death, sacifice and faith.[citation needed] The main question "Did God die for all sins?" is asked many times and is the key to the essence of the faith in the story. St. Red Rose, a fabled cathedral in the middle of a forest is said to practice dark rituals along with satanic worship. Tom Fall, a 17-year-old villager decides to prove to them all the falseness of the telling, and enters the forest.
In the forest he encounters a demon that tries to possess him, only he survives and ends up in the cathedral. All that is known about the rest of the book is that Tom meets the daughter of the high priest in the church, May, and falls in love with her. Soon later he realizes that the church practices a crucification in the name of death for the Hell Sin, a sin they believe God never died for. May apparently, he learns much later, is the Holy One or Demon who will die on the cross and be sent to hell to die for that sin for a time.
Tom tries to convince her not to go through with the ritual but she is torn between the forbidden love for him and the faith she has had for her religion for so long. Near the end on the Day of Death, the day she would be cruficied, Tom tries to escape with her from the cathedral, but it fails as they are captured by her father and other priests.
Tom is thrown into a prison called the Red Rose and escapes into the Path to Hell to find May. She is on the cross and decides to die for him and all others. Before he can stop them the priests torture her to death and she is sent to hell. His anger leads to his possession from demons later on, and he returns to his village possessed, with the aim of slaughtering everyone. The book ends with the staining of innocent blood on the forest floor once again as another sacrifice will soon be needed.
