Two worlds, real and demonic, have existed next to each other for thousands of years. The dark side of the city lives by its own rules, but if someone poses a danger, the Department of Mystical Investigations comes into play. Noirville is once again restless: an unknown person is killing magicians, leaving bloodless bodies. Fabian, one of the best employees of the Department, is assigned to solve a series of mysterious and brutal murders. A clan of vampires is under suspicion, but is this really so? Fabian does not notice how he becomes dependent on magic and loses control over the Faceless Man. The sorcerer is increasingly drawn into the quagmire, and even Joan is unable to save him. Meanwhile, the servants of evil deal Fabian the final blow and awaken a power equal to the power of the devil himself.
