DISCLAIMER: gore sadistic violence
From his heavily fortified position in Shockham Hall, surrounded by his small but powerful army of magically-trained acolytes, and in possession of two-thirds of the inhumanly powerful Sigsand Manuscript, Gravel is faced with a compelling prospect: Combining his resources, power, and ultimate ambitions with Hook to create a new generation of the Minor Seven. Together, and each with one half of the Sigsand, they might even challenge the authority of the shadowy Major Seven. But can Gravel trust the motivations of a man that has sworn to see him die?
