AN EXPERIMENT IN SYNTHESIS...

An eastern golem made by Buddhist monks, Beryun is a living Yin Yang symbol, a perfect synthesis of Light and Dark magic. She is a creature of opposites. Beautiful, yet deadly—spiritual, yet soulless. The vampire Deshwitat came to China to visit Beryun's creators in the hope that they might teach him Light Magic.

A WANDERING SWORDSWMAN WHO CANNOT DIE...

Three hundred years ago, Rett Buttler was one of Deshwitat's only friends. After the Light Sorcerer Kalutika imprisoned Deshwitat, Rett fought to avenge his friend and would have died, had not his opponent other plans. Kalutika cursed Rett with immortality—dooming him to witness the Apocalypse that the sorcerer would bring forth.

AN UNEXPECTED SAVIOR...

Deshwitat began his journey seeking only revenge, but now he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. His enemy, Kalutika, is prophesized to be the harbinger of Armageddon, and Deshwitat must master Light Magic in order to stop him. When Eastern monks fail Deshwitat, only one option remains—he must travel west to the very source of Light Magic...The Vatican.
