Book description
Devon Monk's feisty heroine, Allie Beckstrom, returns in Magic
Without Mercy, the penultimate novel in this magical urban
fantasy series.
'We knew as soon as we stepped out on those streets, we were
walking blind, into a war. All of us were going to have to bear the
pain of paying the price for the magic we called upon. And I was
going to have to bear the pain of carrying a weapon that made me
face what I had become. A killer.'
Allison Beckstrom's talent for tracking spells has put her up
against some of the darkest elements in the world of magic. But she's
never faced anything like this.
Magic itself has been poisoned, and Allie's undead father may have
left the only cure in the hands of a madman. Hunted by the Authority -
the secret council who enforces the laws - wanted by the police, and
unable to use magic, she's got to find the cure before the sickness
spreads beyond any power to stop it.
But when a death magic user seeks to destroy the only thing that can
heal magic, Allie and her fellow renegades must stand and fight to
defend the innocent and save all magic . . .
If you love urban fantasy with a magical twist, then you'll love
Devon Monk's Magic Without Mercy.
'Fiendishly original and a stay-up-all-night read' Patricia Briggs
'Allie's adventures are gripping and engrossing, with an
even, clever mix of humour, love, and brutality' Publishers Weekly
'Devon Monk's writing is addictive, and the only cure is more, more,
more' Rachel Vincent
