Magus’ Crypt beneath the mansion called Ravenwood seems to have it all: guest rooms, an art gallery, even a dungeon. Greek Gods in the hallway, mermaids in the bathroom, and the Devil guarding the door! But its mystic heart is still unfinished: a room for rituals to avert the doom now threatening his friends and The Garret Gang alike. Working together, can they ready it in time?
Meanwhile, inspired by tales of a jungle drug said to enhance psychic powers, Jack has created a home-brewed substitute in his lab and smuggled it out. Now, in return for help breaking Melusine’s curse, he plans to share it with the Crypt Crew and Hadrian’s new Mindpower group at Russell University. But will that key open the doors to new discoveries for them all, or release the very doom they fear?
What will happen when modern chemistry meets ancient magic in the secret heart of The Crypt?
