Niels Stensen (1638-1686) er en af de mest betydningsfulde danske naturvidenskabsmænd gennem historien. Gennem 350 år har han fascineret og inspireret både fagfolk og lægfolk i ind- og udland. I løbet af et enkelt årti, 1660’erne, gjorde han en lang række epokegørende opdagelser indenfor anatomi, geologi og krystallografi. Kaster Jesper Brandt Andersen lys over Niels Stensens naturvidenskabelige indsats, baggrunden for hans enestående karriere og årsagerne til hans konversion til katolicismen, som fik ham til at vende sig fra naturvidenskaben.

Scarred and disfigured, Darwin Lloyd travels the country with Teresa, trying to find a life without Threads—quantum strings that can change or control reality. His only real skill in the new reality he helped create is the Dance, passed on to him by Baila as she took his ability to use Threads. But time doesn't stand still. Though SafeHaven and Forsyth have control of the QPS, the machine Darwin and his dad built and the reason the Threads exist, and the remnants of Salem and the Qabal are building an army to take it back.

It's my third year at The Academy of the Devil, and things finally seem to be falling into place. I've reached a tentative agreement with my new lovers. My life is finally headed in the right direction. Until he shows up. They say he is an exchange student. They call him Lucian and cluster around him like flies drawn to honey. They are blind.
