From the back cover:

Every year on his birtday, Ned Dunstan is cursed with visions and horrors commited by a savage figure he calls Mr. X. This year, Ned's visions will become blesh and blood.

A dreadful premonition brings Ned home to find his mother on her deathbed. She reveals the never-before-disclosed name of his father and warnes him of grave danger. Driven by a desperate sense of need, Ned explores his dark past and the astonishing legacy of his kin. Accused of violet crimes he has not committed and pursued by a shadowy twin, Ned enters a hidden world of ominous mysteries, where he must confront his deepest nightmares...
