Absolon Danard is an immortal troubleshooter in the employ of several nameless agencies across the world. He is quietly retired, living a simple life on a chicken farm when he gets called back into the game because his archenemy, the supernatural assassin called Taran Tu, has re-appeared, and is looking to ignite a global war by resurrecting the monstrous King of the Faeries and crushing mankind under his heel. Danard enters into a high stakes game of cat and mouse with the knowledge that if he fails...humanity will fall.
