"Katherine Kurtz - Adept 01 - The Adept" - читать интересную книгу автора (Kurtz Katherine)

MORE THAN A DOCTOR,
MORE THAN A DETECTIVEтАж
He is Sir Adam Sinclair: nobleman, physician, scholar - and Adept. A man of learning and power, he
practices ancient arts unknown to the twentieth century.
He has had many names, lived many lives, but his mission remains the same: to protect the Light from those
who would tread the Dark Roads.
Now his beloved Scotland is defiled by an unholy cult of black magicians who will commit any atrocity to
achieve their evil ends-even raise the dead!
Only one man can stand against themтАж
The Adept!

This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents either are the product of the authors'
imaginations or are used fictitiously, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, business
establishments, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.

For
betty ballantine,
who has a special knack
for finding and encouraging new authors.
She bought a first trilogy from each of us,
across a fifteen-year stretch,
and then had the uncommon good sense
to introduce us.
Thanks, Betty!
