Three years of crime and dishonor befell Italy at the end of the 9th century. After these years, the seemingly unshakable authority of the Roman Church fell into the abyss, holding a trial over the dead man and replacing six of its supreme hierarchs at once in three years. By the end of these years, the fate of the entire Italian kingdom had descended into a thick and silted twilight of uncertainty. “Condemned to Darkness” is a continuation of the novel “The Synod of Corpse” and the second book about the period of “pornocracy” in the history of the Catholic Church.
