The fire should have killed her; instead the 12-year-old girl emerged phoenix-like from the flames. That was the real beginning, but for me it started with a death.
1983. There are two things Michael knows for certain. There is no such thing as magic and life cannot get any worse. In the middle of planning to buy a flat together, his girl friend has announced she is off to India with a yoga teacher. His job is in jeopardy and the person he least wants to meet has invited him to a party. Then everything changes, he meets Maureen, the girl of his dreams. In a short time they are engaged and Michael promoted.
Just weeks before their wedding, Michael learns Maureen has for years been a member of an occult group. Now they want her dead. When the curse is fulfilled, he is forced to come to terms with a secret that has haunted him since childhood.
In his search for the truth, he meets an old man with inexplicable powers who sets Michael on a desperate journey that will take him from living on the streets of London to the home of a multi-millionaire. From begging for food to dining with royalty. From a nameless horror that stalks a ruined church to the bed of a super model.
A covert CIA project, a 3000-year-old conspiracy, a mysterious stranger who worked with Denis Wheatley and Aliester Crowley on a secret wartime venture, a group sworn to protect an ancient secret with their lives all have their parts to play in a story that mixes fact and fantasy.
