More than twenty years ago, budding writer Luis G. Abbadie released a pernicious curse with the publication of his first book. His readers and closest friends were exposed, unknowingly, to the voracious influence of an ancient symbol: the distant and lethal brand of the Yellow King. The manuscript, which rescued the terrible and mysterious destiny of Ambrose Bierce (the famous author of the Devil's Dictionary), is back and the risk is more latent than ever: the boundaries between history and legend have been dissolved, the limits between fiction and reality, lost; and the portal to a dark world, of black stars and old horrors, has been opened again.
