They live among
us. We know they are there. No government can
control them; no authority can stop them. Some
are evil. Some are good. All are powerful. They
inhabit our myths and fairy tales. But what if
they were real, the witches, wizards, and fairy
godmothers? What if they were called "adepts"
and were organized into guilds for mutual
protection and benefit? And what if some of them
discovered a power that other adepts could not
match.
During the turbulent 1960s, when American adept
Peter Branton agrees to go to Transylvania for
the CIA, he suspects it's not about ball
bearings as he was told. What he finds is a plot
that could kill millions of people and plunge
the world into eternal tyranny and bloodshed.
Branton doesn't know it, but he's about to face
the adept guilds' worst nightmare: practicing
necromancers with a taste for human blood.
