Sir Adam Sinclair--the Adept--has led many lives under many names, but his one purpose remains the same--to fight the powers of Darkness--in all their evil forms. In the guise of a long-extinct cult, the Dark powers stand ready to unleash a weapon--energized by an ancient Druid artifact--on all of Scotland. Anne McCaffrey calls the Adept series, "a late night turn-the-pager".
