The warning of Alaine’s cards has come true: Suzanne has fled, a victim of Hadrian’s treachery.  Will she ever return?  Or will emerald-eyed Norma Stevens, with her empathic powers and unending quest for sexual fulfillment, take Suzanne’s place in the new-formed coven and in Jack’s affections?

For them both, though, more peril lies ahead.  Alaine had to face her deepest fears before walking the Moon Path.  Now it’s Jack’s turn, and Norma’s.  Will he turn aside when he meets the fire, or she, the night’s thousand eyes?

Meanwhile, the coven’s hypnotic experiments have brought astonishing results.  Suzanne once saw herself on stairs spiraling downward beneath Tarot-card tapestries.  Now others, unprompted, describe that same place. Is it just a dream they somehow share, or is it real?  Does that spiral of stairs lead down to another world?

What perils await whose who journey below to enter The Magic Theater?
