The novel "The Sorrows of Satan" became a hit of its time. In just a few months after its release in 1895, tens of thousands of copies were sold, and the popularity of the book surpassed even Stoker's "Dracula".
Gifted but impoverished writer Geoffrey Tempest unexpectedly receives a huge inheritance and an influential patron - the mysterious Prince Lucio Rimanez. Money, fame, power - everything comes into Geoffrey's hands. But along with success comes something else: he gradually loses his talent, and most importantly - himself. What will he choose: wealth or genius? And who is hiding behind the persona of his new friend?

The story of how money and fame change a person, while the devil himself turns out not to be a villain, but a suffering character weary of human greed.
