Book description
Magic hunter Allie Beckstrom returns in Magic on the Storm,
the fourth instalment of this fantastic US urban fantasy series by
Devon Monk - perfect for fans of Charlaine Harris, Laurell K. Hamilton
and Karen Chance.
'Magic stirred in me . . . I closed my eyes, wanting to lose myself
to it. Wanting to use magic in every way I could. But that would be
bad. I had enough magic inside me; I could burn down a city. And I
didn't want to do that . . .'
Allie Beckstrom knows better than most that when magic's involved,
you always pay. Whether the price is migraines, amnesia, or muscle
aches, she is committed to her work as a Hound, tracing illegal spells
back to their casters. But her job is about to get much more dangerous.
There's a stom of apocalyptic force bearing down on Portland, and
when it hits, all the magic in the area will turn unstable and
destructive. To stop it from taking out the entire city, Allie and her
lover, the mysterious Zayvion Jones, must work with the Authority -
the enigmatic arbiters of all things magic - and make a stand against
a magical wild storm that will obliterate all in its path.
If you love urban fantasy, then Magic on the Storm by Devon
Monk is a must have read.
'Gritty setting, compelling, fully realized characters, and a
frightening system of magic-with-a-price that left me awed' Rachel Vincent
'Loved it. Fiendishly original and a stay-up-all-night read'
