His name is a whisper in the darkness. He is a shadow in the night. For centuries he stalked the earth leaving death and destruction in his wake. Sorcerers feared to talk of him.

The Alliance of Covens has been growing stronger under Clara's rule. The warlocks do not like it. They too have been increasing their strength. War has begun and even in Maidstone nobody is safe. Not even Eddie. 
Eddie must choose a side. The sorcerers or the warlocks. Whatever he chooses will shape his future, but will it be for better or for worse?
