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.
