Robert Berenson is a Canadian with the NATO mission in Afghanistan. Berenson is a psycho and a bully and so far he's gotten away with it. Waiting for Berenson just over the next hill is a man called Duncan McNeill. McNeill is dressed like an Afghan, blends in very easily and speaks Dari, Pashtu and the two Turkic languages that are used in Afghanistan, Uzbek and Turkmen.

Berenson is highly trained and normally he would be able to take care of a man like Duncan McNeill very easily but there's something Berenson could never anticipate - Duncan McNeill knows magic. Also waiting with Duncan McNeill is something that looks like a woman but is actually a magic spell and she is extremely dangerous.
