What is Ďáblova pečeť about?
Fidelma and Eadulf face a case in which suspicion intertwines with questions of identity, betrayal, and old conflicts. Among Cashel's visitors are Verax, a scholar from Rome, Bishop Arwald, and Eadulf's brother Egric, whose unexpected arrival raises further questions. As disputes between religious groups turn into open hostility and more victims emerge, Fidelma must use her knowledge of law, logic, and human nature to unravel seemingly unrelated events. The historical mystery also explores seventh-century Irish society and the tensions between older traditions and changing Christian rules.

Book context
The Devil's Seal was originally published in 2014 and is the twenty-fifth Sister Fidelma novel. SOURCE_FACT correctly lists the Sestra Fidelma series and position 25. The Czech edition uses the subtitle “Příběh sestry Fidelmy (20. příběh),” reflecting a different local publishing sequence that does not change the novel's original position in the series.
