What the back of the book says
What I thought
Two young necromancers-in-training accept the invitation of Victor Mordenheim to aid him in his research.  Mordenheim, man of science, wishes to revive his dead wife and funnel her essence into a new living receptacle.  The newcomers' consternation is brought to a head when one of them, a lovely young woman, is kidnapped by Adam, Mordenheim's creation, who swears to kill her should they pursue their plans.  From then on it's a race across the ice, battling lycanthropes, vengeful Vistani, and the dark forces themselves, as the young necromancers try to escape the dark domains.
I hated this book.  Not only was it boring, but it was also one of the most unoriginal pieces of crap I've ever read.  Have you ever heard of Frankenstein?  Well, Chet Williamson, the author, must have heard the story of Frankenstein and apparently liked it, considering the fact that this book he wrote is a total rip off of Frankenstein.  I'm not sure how he managed to publish this without being sued for plaguerism.  Do not buy this book!
