Jack and Thin Man are trying to kill each other at every opportunity and now a new power has risen to stop Jack. Sirus Rothman. With a pregnant wife and the political divide in the Coven, Jack is walking a fine line and the war is only heating up. Since Jack has broken the Coven's hold on power and opened up relations with the African Umphekathi council, Thin Man has gained more support. The hour is coming for Mephistopheles' arrival, and things couldn't be better for him. Everyone is at each other's throats, and no one trusts anyone else. Can Jack and Gabrielle unite the various factions in time? Will the differences of their peoples be overcome before they all fall to Mephistopheles?
