Magic Burns

di Ilona Andrews (Autore)

Gollancz, 2010

Kickass mercenary Kate Daniels is back in another breakneck urban fantasy adventure. She's ready to take care of anyone who gets in her way . . . Down in Atlanta, tempers - and temperatures - are about to flare . . . As a mercenary who cleans up after magic gone wrong, Kate Daniels has seen her share of occupational hazards. Normally, waves of paranormal energy ebb and flow across Atlanta like a tide. But once every seven years, a flare comes, a time when magic runs rampant. Now Kate's going to have to deal with problems on a much bigger scale: a divine one. When Kate sets out to retrieve a set of stolen maps for the Pack, Atlanta's paramilitary clan of shapeshifters, she quickly realises much more is at stake. During a flare, gods and goddesses can manifest - and battle for power. The stolen maps are only the opening gambit in an epic tug-of-war between two gods hoping for rebirth. And if Kate can't stop the cataclysmic showdown, the city may not survive . . . Readers are hooked on Magic Burns: 'This book is perfect!! . . . I love Kate. I love Kate so much my heart hurts . . . Yes Kate, go samurai on their sorry asses! Yes Kate, give them the middle finger!!' Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ? 'There aren't enough stars in the sky.
