Professor Piers Knight is an esteemed curator at the
Brooklyn Museum and is regarded by many on the staff as a
revered institution of his own if not an outright curiosity.
Knight’s portfolio includes lost civilizations; arcane
cultures, languages, and belief; and more than a little bit
of the history of magic and mysticism. What his contemporaries don't know is that in addition to
being a scholar of all things ancient he is schooled in the
uses of magical artifacts, the teachings of forgotten
deities, and the threats of unseen dangers. If a mysterious object surfaces, Professor Knight makes it
his job to figure it out--and make sure it stays out
of dangerous hands. A contemporary on an expedition in the Middle East
calls Knight's attention to a mysterious object in the
collection of the Brooklyn Museum … just before it becomes
the target of a sorcerous attack that leads to a siege on a
local precinct house by a fire elemental. What looks like an ordinary inscribed stone may unlock an
otherworldly Armageddon that certain dark powers are all too
eager to bring about--and only Piers Knight stands in their way.
