In "Dream of Death!", Dr. Howard Jordan attempts to bridge the gap between Alan Foster and Marla Goren, whose love exists only in shared dreams where they believe they can be together in eternity. When Jordan tries to bring them together in the real world, a tragic plane crash leaves Alan dead—leaving Marla and the others to grapple with the line between dream and reality.

In "Man of Mystery!", a criminologist named Andrew Clevinger races against time to uncover the truth behind a centuries-old killer who strikes London every hundred years, leaving behind a cryptic tattoo of a sun and cat’s head on his hand. With the city’s elite—Lord Mayor Esterbrook, Chancellor Merrick, Sir Bertram Marley, Admiral Farwell, the Duchess of Trevelyan, Prince Alexis of Carpathia, and Edmund Carewe—on edge, the mystery deepens as Clevinger pieces together a trail that leads back to a long-dead wizard, Mertruro.
