Jack’s home-brewed drug to boost psychic powers has proven a success. Using it the Crypt’s shaman Belinda has found a labyrinth connecting our own world with countless others, and in one of them she’s earned a powerful protector’s favor. But like the labyrinths of legend, this one also holds its share of monsters.

Soon Belinda will venture forth again, taking friends from the Crypt and Garret along. Wonders await them: unearthly beauty but also ruin and horror, worlds shattered and burning. Will the group’s combined powers and mystic weapons be enough to keep them safe?

Hadrian, too, has been testing Jack’s drug in the scientific setting of his Mindpower group. But telepathy tests begin to pall as he learns more of what the drug can do. Soon Hadrian too will venture forth. But when he, the Crypt Crew and Garret Gang all meet out there, who will escape the doom that lurks In Night’s Labyrinth?
