Synopsis: Harbinger

A young graduate student struggles to complete the work of her missing advisor, whom friends and associates believe to be dead after he vanished while performing research in the Highlands eight months before. She is convinced that Eamonn, a respected professor in the prestigious Academy, a clandestine academic organization in Edinburgh, Scotland, disappeared for a reason and searches for support to locate him.

Against a backdrop of growing troubles wracking the city, a mysterious package exposes the seamy underside of a world concealed from the public eye. She finds evidence of black deals and desperation forces her into making treacherous alliances to a troubled woman stirred by unfathomable motivations, a damned hunter, and a fellow student concealing a terrible secret that would condemn them all if revealed.

The further Gwen descends into the darkness in search of her missing mentor, the more certain it is she won't escape with her life if she fails, and might not keep it even if she succeeds...
