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 realizes much more 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…
I feel like urban fantasy gets a bad rap, yknow? Maybe it’s because of all the YA vampire novels that were so big around the Twilight era. Not that all of those were bad!! Or maybe it’s because they still don’t have the fancy covers that almost all other genres have now. However!! I have been really into the genre lately. We all know my love for Seanan McGuire and the October Daye series. Well, the Kate Daniels series is another favorite urban fantasy series – even though this book is only the second in the series!
