There's also the Immortals, a triumvirate of thousand-year-old magicians who want to rule the world through mind control - and destroying Kingsley is integral to their plans. And if they don't kill him, then there are the last surviving Neanderthals, who want to exterminate all homo sapiens.
Luckily Kingsley can enlist the help of Evadne, a beautiful albino heroine with an agenda of her own, and the famous author Rudyard Kipling - who is both fascinated and terrified that Kingsley could be the real life inspiration for the wolf child Mowgli, the hero of The Jungle Book.
Surviving to tell this tale will require braving the challenges of the Demimonde - the dangerous and exhilarating underground world of magic, conspiracies and the most outlandish of those on the fringes of our society.
