Summary[]
From the White Wolf catalog:
- Is Ignorance Truly Bliss?
- Adrian Cross is unwittingly abetting the efforts of the Technocracy to further their grandiose plans, which have already essentially assured them world domination. However, in order for their latest efforts to hear fruit, the Technocracy needs a larger sacrifice of Adrian. The circumstances that are to lead to Adrian's further involvement have been planned carefully. Yet they fail.
- This small crack in their encompassing plans may be an opening to the possibility of free will, something that Adrian and all his fellow humans seem to be slowly losing. With the assistance of two very different strangers who wish for very different things for him, Adrian begins a terrifying journey of discovery into the true inner workings of the World of Darkness. But as he learns more, he begins to wonder if perhaps he was safer in his ignorance.
- Predator & Prey: Mage is the fifth in this series of six novels that explores the Hunters newly arrived within the World of Darkness and the supernatural foes they believe they have an obligation to confront. In the course of the series, the line between hunter and hunted continues to blur. The series continues with Predator & Prey: Executioner.

Memorable Quotes[]
"My mom had a saying about miracles," Adrian said. He was in no mood for this right now. "She said God never did anybody a miracle. He just stood by and smiled so we'd know He was happy for us. She said what we call miracles are really just dumb luck God approves of." - pg. 53
