Nikodemus is an alternatively modern take on the fantasy genre. Magic and FBI Agents don't usually mix. Nikodemus appears at the beginning of an investigation into the abduction of a United States Senator's daughter. He takes an agent on a wild ride travelling "between" to bring three suspects from Pennsylvania to Texas. Mages, seekers, and necromancers lock horns with FBI agents, private investigators, and media, battling glamoured animals and glamoured minions.

Bodies start to pile up. Then there is a showdown between a seeker and a mage on the streets of the Stockyards in Fort Worth, Texas in front of hundreds of witnesses. Help comes from an unexpected source. By the end of this first instalment there will be some answers, but more questions arise. Who is the Egyptian woman? What does she really want?
