Publisher Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews comes a novella featuring Roman, our favorite Volhv wizard in the always intriguing, colorful, volatile Kate Daniels world.
It’s not easy serving Chernobog, the God of Destruction, Darkness and Death…especially during the holidays; and especially when you’re out of eggnog and one of your pesky, freeloading mythic creatures has eaten your last cookie.
Roman would like nothing more than to be left alone, but when a wounded boy stumbles into his yard and begs for sanctuary, Roman takes him in. Now elite mercenaries are camped out on his property, combat mages are dousing the house with fire, and strange priests are unleashing arcane magic. They thought Roman was easy pickings, just a hermit in the woods, but they chose the wrong dark priest to annoy. For while Roman might be patient, he is the Black Volhv, filled with the love of his terrible god. For his adversaries, it's a fight to the death, but for him, it's just another day in the neighborhood.
Customer Reviews
Good introduction
Roman is a priest of a dark god, and none too pleased with being called upon to deliver his god’s ‘present’ during the holiday he’s supposed to have off, when an injured young man stumbles into his life asking for sanctuary from the mercenaries pursuing him. Magic and mayhem ensues.
Listened to this story over the course of two days’ worth of commute to and from work. It almost felt too short, but it’s a good introduction to a new set of characters within the Kate Daniels universe. Looking forward to more adventures of Roman and his motley crew of creatures. I do hope those adventures are written soon.
