Ravirn is enjoying his new house when he gets invited to a party hosted by Zeus. The party will lead to major changes in his life and more adventure. First, he meets his cousin, Dairn, who wants him dead. Then he meets his paternal grandmother. His lover, Cerice, is called back to her house to determine what is causing troubles on the web. Necessity was affected by a virus but things have worsened and Cerice's programming skills are needed.

Dairn is trying to take over Ravirn's life. He is now a part of Chaos just as Ravirn is. Dairn shows up everywhere Ravirn goes and is able to countermand any spells he and Melchior try out. With Cerice out of his life, he and a fury are keeping company. With her help, Ravirn will be needed to get back into Necessity to free her from the virus and keep Nemesis from destroying Necessity.

Imaginative, fascinating, with a lot of adventure thrown in, Mr. McCullough has followed his first two books with a worthy sequel. CODESPELL will keep the reader on edge while following the travails of Ravirn and his web goblin, Melchior.
