Abbot Lawrence Martins was an acquaintance of Richard de Marsh from their seminary days; the two would read many of the same books and spend long hours debating morality. When Richard delved deeper into the diabolical, Lawrence managed to pull himself back from the brink. Upon being assigned to Rushen Abbey, Lawrence hoped to leave that past behind himβbut Richard, acting on the orders of his demonic masters, ensured that Lawrence was gradually promoted to the rank of abbot, and sent the imps of Devilβs Den to dog his steps. #Ars Magica #heroic fantasy
