Through a haze of cigarettes and vodka there lies a
version of Prague in the heart of the Cold War, where spies practice sorcery in
their games of intrigue. While the political lines may be as clear as the Iron
Curtain, the battles of magic seldom stay clean and the combating forces of Ice
and Flame dance across borders and loyalties. Tanya Morozova is a KGB officer
and the latest in a long of Ice sorceresses; Gabe Pritchard is a CIA officer and
reluctant Ice recruit. Enemies at one turn, but forced into alliances at the
next, their relationship is as explosive as the Cold War itself.
