Jack Shade works as an occult Traveler and modern shaman for hire. He carries a secret from his past that propels him through spells and portals into increasingly bizarre worlds. Jack encounters professional Dream Hunters and gangster magicians. He meets Ray, an invisible spirit fox, and Archie, an elegant Jinni. The Queen of Eyes holds all oracular power in existence. Jack plays high stakes poker at the Hôtel de Rêve Noire and ventures into the deadly Forest Of Souls. He enters a cave to trap a demon that has existed for sixty-five thousand years. His own dream duplicate hires him for the ultimate job: killing himself. Jack moves like mercury between realities, quick and nimble, until his tricks run out. He must confront his deepest fear and make his greatest sacrifice, one that will transform his very existence.
