Rachel Morgan is a white witch and runner working for Inderland Security, in an alternate world where a bioengineered virus wiped out a great deal of the world’s human population – exposing the existence of the supernatural communities that had long lived alongside humanity.
For the last five years Rachel has been tracking down law-breaking Inderlanders in modern-day Cincinnati, but now she wants to leave and start her own agency. Her only problem is that no one quits the I.S.
Marked for death, Rachel will have to fend off fairy assassins and homicidal weres armed with an assortment of nasty curses. She’s a dead witch walking unless she can appease her former employers by exposing the city’s most prominent citizen as a drug lord. But making an enemy of the ambiguous Trent Kalamack is just as deadly as leaving the I.S.
During the last few months, former bounty-hunter Rachel Morgan has been rather busy.
Having escaped relatively unscathed from her corrupt former employers, she’s not only acquired a vampiric room-mate called Ivy, faced werewolf assassins and battled shape-shifting demons, but has also found the time to pick up a boyfriend (even if he is only human) and open her very own runner agency.
But cohabiting with a vampire, however reformed, has its dangers. Ivy’s evil vampire ex-boyfriend has decided that he wants her back, and views Rachel as a tasty side-dish. To make matters worse, Rachel’s demon mark is the ultimate vamp-aphrodisiac; one that works both ways.
The stakes are high, and if Rachel is to save herself and her room mate she must challenge the master vampire and confront the dark secrets she’s kept hidden even from herself.
‘Thousands of silver and gold sentences had been spun into a seven-foot-tall sphere. Rubbing his sore arm muscles, Nicodemus walked closer to admire its stunning detail: all across the spell’s globelike surface, Numinous and Magnus passages formed miniature streams that flowed like ocean currents.’ (Spellwright; Blake Charlton)
I’m so thrilled to finally be able to present to the world the new cover look for Blake Charlton’s fabulous Spellwright. What do you think? Considering Blake’s work is popping up on “Best of…” lists all over the globe, I suggest you pre-order this gorgeous paperback right away! Spellbound is going to be released in a very similar style, which I can’t wait to share with you either.
I think Blake’s books have one of the greatest varieties of covers ever. Why not add him on facebook to see the rest?
On the seventh day of Christmas, Voyager recommends to you…
A FISTFUL OF CHARMS – KIM HARRISON Recommended by: Natasha Tanczos, HarperCollins Sales Executive
‘A Fistful of Charms is a handful of surprises… this series is so much fun.’ – Natasha
There’s no rest for the wicked, even when the taint on your soul isn’t your fault. It would be wise for witch and bounty hunter, Rachel Morgan, to keep a low profile right now. Her new reputation for the dark arts has piqued the interest of Cincinnati’s night-prowlers, who despise her and long to bring an end to her interference, one way or another. Nevertheless, Rachel must risk exposure. Her ex-boyfriend, Nick, has stolen a priceless Were artefact, and, as tempting as it may be to let the Weres him apart, Rachel feels obliged to attempt a rescue. But other sinister forces also covet the relic Nick has hidden. Some who desire it so badly, they will take the city — and everyone in it — apart to wield its frightening power.
The only girl in a large family of boys, former tomboy Kim Harrison invented the first Brigadier General Barbie in self-defence. She shoots a very bad game of pool and rolls a very good game of dice.
When not at her keyboard, she enjoys lounging on the couch with a bowl of popcorn watching action movies with The-Guy-In-The-Leather-Jacket. She plays her Ashiko drum when no one is listening, and is hard to find when the moon is new.
The latest stirring instalment of the urban fantasy-thriller series starring Rachel Morgan. A pacey and addictive novel of sexy bounty-hunting witches, cunning demons and vicious vampires.
Having barely escaped being skewered by the criminal vampire overlord of Cinncinati, Rachel now has even bigger problems to contend with.
The demon, Algaliarept, although banished back into the everafter has infected others of his kind with his interest in a witch who can channel demon magic. Rachel soon finds herself with not one but three hellions on her tail; and one of them is even crazier and more dangerous than all the fairy assassins, weres and vampires on the planet.
