Nemesis the Warlock and Torquemada face off for a final duel to the death, but in an ironic twist, once Nemesis has stripped Torquemada's true nature naked for all to see, it is his own people who administer Torquemada's death.

Amadeus Wolf's assistant Jimmy Brannigan helps his archeologist uncle on a dig to recover the remains of Ranak the Red, a fierce sea-warrior who allegedly possessed mystic powers. They discover the crypt, but notice that odd things are happening...that time seems to be moving backwards as they grow younger by the moment. Ranak lives once again, and only Wolf's mystic powers can reverse the spell.
