Hvis Leo havde vidst, hvad hun gik ind til, havde hun aldrig sagt ja til at hente troldmandens skat i dragens hule.

There exists a secret and highly illegal trade in mythological creatures and their artifacts.

It's a big-money business-shadowy, brutal, and sometimes fatal. As the trail leads her deeper into London's dark side, she crosses paths with a crime lord whose life is dedicated to collecting such relics.
