THE RISE AND FALL OF D.O.D.O.

Magic has faded from the minds of mankind, until an encounter between Melisande Stokes, linguistics expert at Harvard, and Tristan Lyons, shadowy agent of government, leads to the uncovering of a distant past.

Its mission: to develop a device that will send their agents back to the past, where they can stop magic from disappearing and alter the course of history.
