Will Sloane and Cynthia Warren had been lovers in past lives, but her friends wanted him dead. She could do nothing to stop them.
Will Sloane lived a quiet but charmed life as a bookkeeper for a small occult bookshop in London's financial district. That all changed as a bullet whizzed past his head, killing a woman who smiled at him every morning. Immediately, an elaborate protection scheme grew around him, as if the plot were expected. At the same time, Cynthia Warren, a nuclear physicist and Wiccan high priestess visited Britain to witness the Vernal Equinox at Stonehenge, taking leave from a top secret project that could save mankind from extinction. Their meeting was inevitable, and she would do anything to save his life if she could, but her hosts wanted him dead and they held an unexplained power over her.
Thriller, occult and science fiction meet in the intermingling of these two lives. Unwittingly, Will has the power to preserve the future, while Cynthia's handlers (the brown-robed Brethren, a sect from the distant future) use her gifts to plot his downfall and guarantee their survival. Only one future could win, and Cynthia would do anything to make it Will's if she could outwit the Brethren.
