In this third and final fantasy noir story in the series, Arlo Austin has been abducted by a coven of witches. One month on and the lack of a ransom or ultimatum suggests dire alternatives: perhaps Arlo has gone rogue? The simultaneous attacks by Circe's Coven cannot be a coincidence either.
The Bureau's political masters want answers, hence the return of Arlo's son, Tayn Banks, whose natural curiosity has served them well in the past. Even though his relationship with Arlo has broken down, Tayn agrees to investigate the mystery.
Tayn's detective work places him in mortal danger, made complicated by not knowing who he can trust, not everyone is who they say they are. As Circe's Coven ramps up their attacks, Tayn discovers a connection between ancient literature and the coven's ambitions.
Witches have been persecuted for millennia, their vengeance led to an attempt to enslave humanity once before - which failed. This time it looks like they could succeed.
