Archaeologist Saul Lazenby has been all but unemployable since his disgrace during the War. Now he scrapes a living working for a rich eccentric who believes in magic. Saul knows it's a lot of nonsense . . . except that he begins to find himself in increasingly strange and frightening situations. And at every turn he runs into the sardonic, mysterious Randolph Glyde.
Randolph is the last of an ancient line of arcanists, commanding deep secrets and extraordinary powers as he struggles to fulfill his family duties in a war-torn world. He knows there's something odd going on with the haunted-looking man who keeps turning up in all the wrong places. The only question for Randolph is whether Saul is victim or villain.
Saul hasn't trusted anyone in a long time. But as the supernatural threat grows, along with the desire between them, he'll need to believe in evasive, enraging, devastatingly attractive Randolph. Because he may be the only man who can save Saul's life—or his soul.
Contains mature themes.

      Set in 1920s England, this supernatural audiobook comes with a dash of romance. Archaeologist Saul and arcanist Randolph find they keep crossing paths, much to the consternation and hopeful delight of both men. Narrator Ruairi Carter gives all the characters in this romance, the majority of whom are male, unique voices, making it easy for the listener to distinguish between each one. He also adds the appropriate amount of suspense, fear, and desire to scenes full of intense emotion, though other portions have a more straightforward tone that doesn't match the general feel of the story. There are times that his pronunciations are muddled, making it difficult for the listener to comprehend the exact word being spoken. Overall, Carter provides an uneven performance.
