From beyond their world, evil forces are advancing...

Bita, Leitus' wife, who still remembered the Druid magic of her native Britain.
Morga, the evil priestess, raised in a world of rituals, secrets and murder.
Antony, the noble emperor who had discovered the secrets of the pyramids.
An unknown force brought them all together in the desert for a rendezvous with dark beings of the shadow world, who still spoke the language of Hell.
Will this unlikely band of wanderers have what it takes to stare pure evil in the face?
Or will the stone that was broken remain forever in ruin?
