The moment Luke McMillan opened the antique box, the mild-mannered computer expert gave way to a brazen warrior.

A warrior whose spirit had been locked away for centuries. Now unleashed, he spoke of curses and world destruction--unless Luke and 43 Light Street associate Sidney Weston could bring the artifact back to its rightful place.

Empowered with strength greater than any mortal's, Luke found it difficult to balance his needs with the fiery warrior's. Until both spirits found solace in Sidney. But when it came time to take a stand, whose spirit would emerge from that battle? Luke's or the warrior's?
