Titan City: 1933 Anson Walker is a retired wizard who has spent the last two decades trying to put his past to rest. His cynical retirement is thrown into chaos when the daughter of his ex-wife hires him to rescue her mother from the dark forces who've taken her. The kidnapping is only days before the Aberration, a time every century when the rules of magic don't apply.
