Como para os outros que padeceram antes de igual sorte, provavelmente tinha acontecido o mesmo. Uma história triste, repetida com muita frequência.

Time is running out for Scarlett and Runeclaw to save the captives of the Luminous Veil. Despite their efforts to disrupt the Veil's plans, they're still marching toward their ultimate goal. Whatever that is. It involves the mind control collars, but creating an army of menial servants seems less than ambitious.

Darrin is no more, courtesy of the bald baddies. They're eager to send our favorite witch to the same fate. They have their reasons. Maybe it's because Scarlett is hot on the trail of missing college students in Provo, Utah, and all signs point to the bald men with wands as the culprits. Some bad guys don't know when to give up.
