A new evil has arisen in the far away kingdom of Despare, a nameless creature known only as the Jester, who is furious over the arrival of Max, a mysterious wanderer who's been befriending the cruel ruler's slaves. The slaves want him to liberate them, the Jester wants him dead, and all Max wants is to be rid of Despare so he can be back with his love, Rachel, who is waiting for him back in Aleria.

When the final curtain falls, can Max and his friends save Aleria from the Jester? Can Rachel stop any of the mysterious murders that seem to be leading toward her? Will Furion rise to power? Find out in the second installment of Venture to Midnight, a story that explores the mystery of human nature, sheds some light on a sorcerer's tormented mind, and shows what one man would do to be with his true love.

Book Description
The wet smell of water-colours at school, whiffs of extravagant perfumes on crumpled bed-sheets, fried delicacies at Didima's, intoxicated love-games on forlorn beaches - the pendulum oscillates between what was and what is. Onni as a little boy... Onni as a young man... These pages uncover Onniruddh Ray. Who he was then. And who he has become. As Onni's story zigzags, he meets three people - a woman, a man and a young lady. All three play their roles in unclothing him... Everything they do to Onni, from the time he is three years old to when he is thirty, strips down this tale while unbuttoning a very difficult truth. How many ways can the heart be unclothed? Is the pain the same every time?
