There's another side to the world, another side that no one sees. But in between there are doors. . . In ages past, in a time that humanity remembers only as myth, beings of vast power walked among us. Now they are back, and they want what was taken from them. What begins as a routing mission for three agents of the Hoffmann Institute soon turns into a nightmarish adventure involving anarchist cults, magic-wielding computer hackers, psychic assassins, and a race to recover an artifact that may save the future of humanity.
