About this ebook
In late 1700s Paris, a young but promising illusionist dabbles in the arcane art of phantasmagoria. But at his moment of greatest triumph—unveiling a magical lantern said to open a door to the Chinese spirit world—he is violently struck down by a vengeful phantom….
On assignment in London, archaeologist Annja Creed is hunting down a man who claims to have discovered the Jekyll and Hyde potion. On the trail of one curiosity, Annja finds herself pulled toward another mystery…the origin of a strange, old-fashioned projector once used by eighteenth-century illusionists. As Annja delves into its rich history, a dark past begins to emerge. And someone wants to harness the power of this cursed artifact…risking everything for the treasures it promises.
But Annja has a little magic trick of her own. One that she wields with deadly accuracy….

Some (most) of you get things wrong about the whole series. First off - The story revolves around Annja and The Sword. Not Garin and Roux. Also, people say that the book is better than (THIS IS THE PROPER WAY TO SPELL HER NAME) Lara Croft. As far as I am concern, Lara Croft doesn't have a book. Okay. Now on the Magic Lantern. I literally read this book 'till daybreak and finished with it too. Mr Hyde, Asian gangsters, archaeology, magicians, phychics, non-stop action....LOVED IT. Please buy this Novel.
