Synopsis












London, 1967.  In an England where the Protestant Reformation failed, and in which magic is an integral part of the mighty Catholic Church's armoury, there are plenty of opportunities for a talented young necromancer like Tobias Oakley.

From his early invitation into the dark arts by an elvish witch, he progresses steadily into a career as a Church magician.

In such an exalted position, Tobias finds not only the power he craves, but also the time to indulge in other, secret, and more satisfying, pursuits - such as drug-running, debauchery, demonology - and murder
