At last Casimir sets his intricate scheme into motion, seeking glorious revenge upon the man who slew his mother and made him an orphan. But revenge is a merciless master. To slay his nemesis, Casimir summons a dark and powerful curse. And when that terrible curse is summoned, he must confront the greatest foe of all...himself.
