QUOTE: "What do you mean, the Devandiré Sibylline Codex 'doesn't exist'? It was one of Mother's most prized possessions, and I have seen it with my very own eyes: it should be on the estate manifest. Was it misplaced? Stolen? Did it magically sprout wings and fly away?! ... Actually, the last one might be possible. I have to go, I'll call you back."

BACKGROUND
Handsome, wealthy, privileged, successful - Rory Montjoy has always led a charmed life. Little does he know, he literally has.
As far as he was told, his mother, Imogen Montjoy, was an esteemed librarian curator; also beautiful, elegant, beloved. Sure, he had always noticed odd things about her - strange conversations over the phone, abrupt business trips to exotic locations, and inconsistent excuses for all of it - but she was his mother and he trusted her implicitly.
Her sudden, accidental death upended Rory's world, and a familiar series of bizarre events and questionable explanations followed in its wake: Items from her extensive personal collection of books and ancient artifacts went missing; former colleagues he had never met or even heard of came to pay their respects or make inquiries about his life and things he might have seen or heard; even her cause of death - a humble car accident - didn't add up to him.
The more he thought about it, the more he recalled the slew of odd events from his childhood. Little by little he began to suspect something immense was afoot: His mother was not who she claimed to be. A fugitive? A spy? A secret agent? Or perhaps it was something even greater, something not entirely of this world...
It has been two years, and even now Rory is blind to how much his obsession with the supernatural has impacted his life. He abandoned his studies at Cambridge on a compassionate leave, but has used this time not to mourn, but to launch a private investigation into Imogen Montjoy's life. His professors have largely given up on him, few of his old friends still bother to keep in touch, and he has burned through more of his inheritance than he'd like to admit, but he swears he is getting close.
Close to discovering he comes from a long line of sorcerers. Close to uncovering his mother's ties to the Watcher's Council, a secret organization devoted to demonic influence. Close to realizing just how much of his success in life comes not only from his own natural talents, but from a series of forbidden enchantments woven around him at birth by his own mother - her way of making up for keeping him ignorant of supernatural world and her role in it. All she ever wanted was for him to lead a normal, healthy, happy life, sheltered from all the dangers that truly lurk in the shadows - but he is just one breakthrough away from ruining it all.
