Blood in the Snow

Meet Philip Entwhistle. He's a nice guy, if a trifle obsessed with history. He lives in a nice house, has a nice job, and gets along with most people. At least, he does since the last person who tried to kill him was sucked into a vortex when her spell backfired. In a single day, Philip inherited a djinn and a fortune, lost his life, and was mysteriously resurrected. Now the police are pursuing him relentlessly for a murder he didn't commit. His relationship with his Wiccan girlfriend is disintegrating, and an ancient artifact has unleashed a deadly curse. Following clues hidden in a Viking age saga, Philip uncovers a thousand year old conspiracy, a man that cannot die and a plot that threatens the future of two races. A tale of love, magic and sacrifice.
