The Menagerie are being marshalled by the enigmatic, brilliant Mr. Doyle. They are from all planes of existence and born from an array of supernatural and otherwordly backgrounds...Ceridwen, fey princess; Dr, Graves, ghost; Danny Ferrick, teenage demon; Clay, immortal shapeshifter; Eve, repentant for her sins and Squire, a surly hobgoblin. They may be humanity's last defence against the Legion of Doom, which is hell-bent on breaking into Eden (hidden in another dimension). They have the perfect captive to help them: Eve, mother of all humanity - and all vampires. But Doyle and the Menagerie may be too late. The gates to Eden have been breached and the forces of evil are out for all they can get from the Tree of Knowledge. Will Eden truly become Paradise Lost?
