Back Cover Blurb
From the dawn of time they have fought evil in all its supernatural forms — holding back the unholy powers that threaten to consume the world and destroy humanity. A secret society, they operate in every corner of the globe, forever vigilant in their cause. They are warriors...philosophers...scientists — and the world's last hope against the darkness.
They are The Legacy
You must remember... I am not lost...
A beautiful woman whose eyes burn with fire speaks these words to Father Philip — and then disappears.
Though he thought he was done with The Legacy, the priest knows that only they can help him find out who she is, and what she wants from him.
Their search uncovers more than just a missing woman — there are signs that something is loose in the world, something very old and very evil.
Derek and the others think that the secret to confining it rests at the bottom of the sea, in a ship wrecked fifty years before.
But they are wrong. They are being used. And with their unwitting help, an ancient nightmare is about to begin again...
