The Year Is 1913
Doug Slattery is a young magician determined to give Houdini a run for his money. To this end he visits a mysterious old magician, known only by his stage name Ashavan. The older man is willing to share his secrets in return for Doug’s assistance, a new secret for each item Doug is able to acquire for him. But Doug soon realizes the deal is more than he bargained for. Indeed, even Ashavan learns that he has taken on more than he realized. But gears have been set in motion that cannot now be stopped, and there seems to be no better option than to finish what they started. Now they are in a race against time and across continents to find seven stones that Doug can’t help thinking would be better off buried.
