The letter that introduced twelve-year-old Sarah Jane Lyon-White to Isabelle Harton, who ran the Harton School in central London, seemed quite simple and straightforward. But it was what was not written in the letter that resonated to Isabelle's own finely turned 'extra' senses - 'Sarah has gifts we cannot train,' the letter whispered to her, 'nor can anyone we know. Those we trust tell us that you can...'. And it was true, for the Harton School was far from ordinary. It was Isabelle's job to train children who possessed the odd types of magic that could not be trained by London's powerful Elemental Masters - clairvoyants, telepaths, those with the ability to sense hidden danger, the vision to see into the past, and even that rarest of all talents - the ability to see and communicate with the dead. But Isabelle was uneasy, for though she knew that Sarah Jane had a touch of telepathy, there seemed to be something else about the girl - something that had not yet manifested. And Isabelle was right to be worried, for as soon as Sarah's full talents became evident, there was an attempt made on her life. For Sarah was that rarest of magicians - a true medium, and for some reason, a powerful Elemental Master wanted her dead. Isabelle knew that to protect her ward she would have to seek help from the Elemental Masters of the city. That meant she would also see Lord David Alderscroft, the man she had once loved, but who had inexplicably chilled toward her and broken her heart long ago - for he was the leader of the city's Elemental Masters, the man who was now called the Wizard of London.

The spy who mixed love and duty. The woman teased him, and so skillfully that he almost lost control before realizing that he could plot her every provocative movement in advance! Several years earlier, in an Oriental port, he had posed as a naval officer and discovered The Heaven of a Thousand and One Delights. Its inhabitants were exquisite members of the oldest profession… especially trained to use their wiles on foreign officials to compromise them into working for the Red Chinese cause. This woman was no love-possessed secretary: She was a spy. Well, two could play at that game. For the man was also a spy. In fact, he was Nick Carter, the agent known as «Killmaster» in America's super-secret intelligence organization AXE. And the Yoga-trim body that had mastered every conceivable science of killing could match this harem-trained beauty in her own arts as well. Nick Carter decided that in this particular assignment, love and duty were going to be mixed…

"Writing about yourself is a funny business...But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I've tried to do this." —Bruce Springsteen, from the pages of Born to RunIn 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl's halftime show.
