In 1967, Prime Minister Harold Holt disappeared without a trace. This is the story of what happened.

​

When Vietnam veteran Greg Pine is appointed as the Prime Minister’s bodyguard, he is thrust into a world of danger and political intrigue. But his world is rocked when he meets the enigmatic Mary Blackthorne—a stubborn, old wizard responsible for fighting the supernatural forces that threaten to destroy the country.

​

He also learns of the Venerati Sanctus, a sinister secret society that manipulates entire governments for one single purpose: to eradicate all magic from the world. As the aims of the Prime Minister, Mary Blackthorne, and the Venerati Sanctus intersect, Pine finds himself caught in a complicated web of morality, navigating the blurry lines of right and wrong to keep the Prime Minister alive.

​

With the stakes high and loyalties uncertain, Pine must determine who is truly an ally and who is a formidable enemy in this dangerous game of power and deception.
