Amulets of Power, Book I: A Brian Poole Mystery - Hardcover

by Gunter Swoboda (Author), Lorin Josephson (Author)

A brilliant twenty-first-century intelligence officer working for a high-level London security firm uncovers a terrifying truth - his identity and reality are only fragments of a far older and more dangerous legacy.

When a brutal murder pulls Brian Poole and his trusted colleague and wartime brother-in-arms Stewart into a disturbing investigation, they uncover evidence that defies logic and science. What begins as a routine case quickly spirals into a confrontation with hidden magical forces, secret societies, and supernatural crimes operating beneath modern London's polished façade.

As Brian struggles to accept the existence of magic and his own connection to it, he and his allies discover they are unwilling participants in an ancient conflict spanning millennia. Bound by mysterious amulets of extraordinary power, Brian and his team must learn to navigate forbidden rituals, shadow networks, and deadly occult conspiracies before a rising darkness reshapes the world itself.

Blending Celtic mythology, supernatural mystery, and noir investigative suspense, Amulets of Power launches a cinematic urban fantasy series exploring legacy, identity, loyalty, and the dangerous cost of hidden power.

Perfect for readers who enjoy occult procedurals, magical investigator thrillers, and myth-driven supernatural suspense, Amulets of Power is designed as a transmedia story world with series adaptation potential.
