A beautiful virgin is abducted in a ceremony which begins as a Breton village carnival and ends as a diabolic fertility rite. For Nick Brooke, Margot's disappearance means not only the loss of the girl he loves - but the revenge of her superhumanly strong father. It is a job for The Guardians - whose investigations will uncover an evil network of witchcraft, sorcery and devil-worship, protecting a sinister town that Time Forgot, guarded by insatiable werewolves and the incarnation of the legendary sea-vampires of Finistere.
