In 1878, two young magicians clash in the dark during the course of a fraudulent séance. From this moment on, their lives become webs of deceit and revelation. They continually vie to outwit and expose each other.This rivalry will take them to the peaks of their careers -- with terrible consequences. In the course of pursuing each other's ruin, they will deploy all the deception the magician's craft can command -- the highest misdirection and darkest science.
Blood will be spilled, but even this will not be enough. In the end, their legacy will pass on for generations...to descendants who must, for sanity's sake, untangle the puzzle left to them.
