The apocalypse is approaching as his Doom Points tick up and John is finding it harder and harder to keep it together. His deepening knowledge of magic seems to be helping but as a hidden society creeps out of the shadows, intent on throwing the world into chaos, it may not be enough.

Hegel ist faszinierend, charismatisch, schwer durchschaubar. Und: Er sitzt in Einzelhaft. Vor einem Jahr hat er eine obdachlose Frau bestialisch ermordet.

Even worse, despite the apparent peace, turmoil stirs and ancient threats have begun to surface.
