The Shieldmaiden wakes up as a patient at a maximum security psychiatric ward. The head psychiatrist is none other than the Warlock, who is hypnotizing his patients to believe they must destroy entire neighborhoods for "Satan," then arranging for them to escape. This is intended to spark a global witch hysteria that will kick off the Ungod's return—a "rerun" of one of the Warlock's schemes in OUR LADY OF THRONES ("Satanic Panic"). Can the Shieldmaiden resist her captor's evil spell and break free to bring him down? Or will the Warlock succeed in appealing to her dark side and convert her to the ways of isfet?
