Summary[]
From the back cover:
Shrouded in Mystery
Waves of time crash against the mountain upon which you perch, and so do waves of blood and sweat. You belong to Mistridge, one of the greatest Covenants in the Order of Hermes, one of the greatest houses of wizardry in the world. Yea, great hardship has been suffered to make you one of the magnificent, but more is yet to come. There are enemies on that horizon who seek to bring you crashing down from your precarious aerie. Only your constant vigilance preserves you. To be blinded by the light of your own achievements will only mean your doom.
Shrouded in Mist

Background Information[]
An ad for Werewolf: The Apocalypse, "Coming in August," appears in the back of the book.
Mistridge, c. 1255: "When the besieged Covenant ran out of food in 1246, Grimgroth led most of the surviving Grogs and Magi in an attempt to break out and start anew. Many died, and Grimgroth himself was last seen riding towards the summit of Mount Tierné, badly injured, where he simply disappeared."
