"Something is coming, and beside it, societies of black magicians engaged in international conspiracies are child's play."

Disturbed by a vision of a great evil awakening, the magician known only as Drake must leave what he hoped would be his final retirement in Northumbria and return to Boston. There, with the help - and hindrance - of an enigmatic occult society, Drake must solve perplexing crimes, confront vicious murderers, and - hardest of all - guide lost souls back to themselves before it is too late.
