And now the man who loves Naomi must find her ... and bring her back to the world of the living, a world where a New York brownstone holds a burial ground of those accused ow witchcraft, where the secrets o the living may be found within the ancient diary of a witch, and where a creature known only as the Serpent has escaped its bounds at last." — quoted from the back cover of the Leisure Books mass market printing.
