Description de l’éditeur
The first novel in a bold and fast-paced new urban fantasy series starring Jayné Heller, a young college student who inherits a string of houses across the world, several bank accounts, and a very unconventional business from her murdered uncle. And it turns out Uncle Eric has been fighting to rid the world of supernatural riders - demons, vampires, werewolves and all sorts of other nasty parasites - since before Jayné was born.
Now it's up to Jayné to avenge her uncle's death and continue his mission - if she can survive her first week on the job.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Denver is lousy with monsters and mayhem in this urban fantasy series launch by epic fantasist Daniel Abraham (The Long Price Quartet series), his first venture under the Hanover pen name. Stereotypically plucky heroine Jayn Heller stumbles into a world of dangerous magic when she inherits a distant uncle's fortune and his difficulties with a clan of malicious supernatural beings. Jayn likewise gains her uncle's loose conglomerate of useful friends, all of whom have about one character trait apiece (the chef, the Frenchman, the ex-Jesuit), and she plots with them to destroy her uncle's murderer, the sinister Randolph Coin. When trouble threatens, Jayn displays startling monster-fighting abilities, belatedly attributed to her uncle's blessing. Abraham's smooth prose and zippy action sequences sag under the weight of clich s.
