Magic user and sensitive Malcolm Pierce must save the city of Chicago from the demon of decay, the only question is how to do it
A spontaneously mummified body of an otherwise healthy man is found in a convenience store, and Malcolm Pierce is the only one who can help the Chicago police stop what killed him. Problem is, there is no spell in Malcolm's arsenal to do this, and the demon is being recruited into the service of Teth, a new power challenger to the already established demonic underground. With the help of Lenore, Malcolm's Succubus girlfriend, and Helena, a shapeshifter leaving a malevolent organization, Malcolm must stop the demon before Chicago is consumed by decay.
