The intrepid duo’s adventures lead them to encounter psychics, shape-shifters, sorcerers, ghosts, sinister secret societies, human sacrifice, cannibalism, bizarre suicide and something far worse … all set against the backdrop of fin de siècle Paris. As a result, Monty is transformed from charming dilettante to scarred, seasoned professional.
But what Monty doesn’t realize is that a very real evil is stalking him from the start. A darkness is gathering, one into which our hero is inexorably drawn. He learns that even in the world of spirits, there are rules… and limits. His odyssey culminates in a test of will and destiny as he wrestles with an evil that his own grandfather helped unleash.
