They heard tales of a Great Grandfather with a mysterious abode that lay hidden there in an uninhabited part of the country. A haven for West Indian slaves, there was said to be a fortress deep within those mountains. And there were legends surrounding the real purpose of that place.

And while Professor Hunter and his wife lead the pursuit of its knowledge, New Initiates of the Order are sent on their trail.
