About the Book:
Internationally acclaimed bestselling author Kenneth Johnson (The Man of Legends, V) weaves a metaphysical mystery-thriller of deceit stretching from present-day Manhattan back to mystical Dark Ages.
Matt Shaw, hard-working NYU med student, is astounded to receive an endowment from respected 80-year-old historian Dr. John Zachery. At a celebratory dinner, Zachery places an ancient talisman in Matt’s hands and whispers a strange phrase. As a woozy Matt stumbles homeward through foggy Greenwich Village he’s plagued by disturbing visions and stranger dreams as he falls asleep in his flat. When he awakens in an unfamiliar mansion bedroom Matt realizes that he’s dealing with something far older and deadlier than he could have imagined: because the face Matt sees in the mirror is Zachery’s. Sinister medieval alchemy has allowed Zachery to take over Matt’s young body, leaving Matt trapped inside an ever-tightening nightmare from which there seems no escape.
