Book description
Forget anything you ever heard about possession, exorcisms, salt
circles and pentagrams. The modern demon is far more difficult to catch
- and even harder to destroy. After the savage, tragic deaths of their
parents, Grace and Joe Callahan learn that they are descendants of the
sarsareh - mercenaries who hunt very special prey. Grace and Joe take
their place in the Order but are treated with hostility and fear by
other recruits. For the Callahan siblings have powers that fascinate and
terrify. Joe is a Ferryman, capable of opening dimensional rifts, while
Grace's telepathic abilities surpass anything the Order has ever seen.
But none of that will matter if the powerful demon Mammon manages to
convince Joe to open a gateway to his demon world and overrun Earth with
his armies. If he succeeds: game over. J. B. Thomas was born in Perth
in 1971. Adopted at a young age, she grew up in a beachside suburb with
three brothers. Her father - a prominent Perth lawyer, and later, a
district court judge - died when she was 14. She was inspired to write
The Ferryman Chronicles by speculating what life would be like if demons
walked among ordinary (and not-so-ordinary) humans. She is a fan of
Sergei Lukyanenko (Night Watch), Cassandra Clare (The Mortal
Instruments), and Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games). She also is an
admirer of Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, Watchmen) and enjoys shows such
as Supernatural, Being Human and Dexter. J. B. Thomas lives in Perth
with her husband and teaches English. She is a longtime fan of Great
Danes, and when she's not writing or reading, she watches films, walks
her dog, George, and on occasion can be found playing online games.
Mammon is her first novel.
