A thirteenth century cat hiding in the darkness not far away - an attic room no one dare enter and an imaginary Devil standing at the doorway of an ancient Gothic house, all make the darkened attic windows of Alexia's home possibly quite inviting even though its resident lodger might make you feel... just a little uneasy.

To outsiders, Alexia's life might seem rather good, her world possibly quite ordinary and in many ways she would have preferred it that way even though she did live on Hobbs Lane, a name considered by the Catholic belief system to be an alternative for the devil, which was appropriate...because high up within the attic rooms of her parent's old Victorian house, Alexia Ravenscroft harboured something ancient... something that should have remained well hidden until James Bradty, a school friend, stumbles into the wrong room and to his horror confronts Betram!
