Tom MacKenna and Lucien Baptiste have little in common—one a thief, the other a magician—besides both being gifted with supernatural powers which they use strictly for their own monetary gain, and being equally ignorant and uninterested as to the origins of these abilities. However, when a strange twist of circumstances forces them to assume responsibility for Helene Prideux, a mysterious little French girl, they are introduced to a world of magic, witches, and danger. Mayhem ensues as they find themselves in a race around the world with an international Witches' Council at their heels.
