SAINT GERMAINE-the acclaimed series from Caliber comics. Written by Gary Reed.

It is a legendary name. Long associated with being a magician in the era of the Mages, the legacy of Saint Germaine lives on in such mysterious organizations as the Knights Templar and the Masonic Brotherhood.

Part of the Saint Germaine storyline is the love/hate relationship he has with his long time lover, Lilith. She steals men's minds with her shadow creatures which suck up memories and feed her nourishment of rememberances. In her desperate attempt to understand life, she tried her best to join the human race, only to watch as her loved ones died in her arms of old age. She blames Germaine for making her what she is...and now, she wants to take revenge. Can even Saint Germaine stand against her army of shadows?
