Opis

A shared dream calls an unlicensed young wizard and a beautiful cat burglar to England to save the immortal son of the legendary King Arthur, who is linked to them by a powerful enchantment from the dawn of time.... A streetwise, adolescent English punk suddenly starts hearing a strange voice speaking in his mind, and his concern that he might be schizophrenic turns to panic when he discovers that he's become possessed by the spirit of an ancient archmage.... A 300-pound, cigar-chomping, boisterous and bombastic college professor who amuses his students with his mode of dress and his claim to being a fairy turns out to be something considerably more than a merely flamboyant eccentric .... A hard-drinking, chain-smoking, felonious French witch finds herself drawn into an unlikely alliance with the authorities to solve a series of grisly murders committed with black magic .... And Chief Inspector Michael Blood, of Scotland Yard, is faced with a series of savage murders in London's Whitechapel district, with a pattern that seems to match that of a 19th century serial killer by the name of Springheel Jack .... As the bizarre nightmare winds the threads together, the Dark Ones weave their ancient, necromantic spell....
