Publisher's Synopsis
First in a series of books combining fantasy, mystery, and adventure. The hero, Brian Holmes, finds out he is more than an ordinary wizard living in today's San Francisco. The story moves quickly as he gets an education from his recently deceased Aunt, simultaneously attends two universities, and then is offered an important job. As well as having to fill the shoes of a much older and revered person in the upper levels of the World Witches and Wizards Council who died under suspicious circumstances, Brian's first major assignment holds the key to unification of the witch and wizarding communities world wide. There is a small but powerful element though that doesn't like the agreement and will not let anything deter them from stopping Brian from completing his task. Not even an eight hundred foot cruise ship.
