Ilona Andrews invites you to experience the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series featuring the intriguing fantasy world of mercenary Kate Daniels…
When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it arose, leaving all kinds of paranormal problems in its wake.
Kate Daniels is a down-on-her-luck mercenary who makes her living cleaning up these magical problems. But when Kate’s guardian is murdered, her quest for justice draws her into a power struggle between two strong factions within Atlanta’s magic circles.
The Masters of the Dead, necromancers who can control vampires, and the Pack, a paramilitary clan of shapechangers, blame each other for a series of bizarre killings—and the death of Kate’s guardian may be part of the same mystery. Pressured by both sides to find the killer, Kate realizes she’s way out of her league—but she wouldn’t have it any other way...
Kate Daniels is a investigator trying to live in both the mundane and magical Atlanta. In this world the magic comes on and off like a switch at random intervals and technology may or may not work. This is a world with werewolves and slightly different vampires, vampires are dead that are controlled by Masters of the Dead.
There are deaths happening and they're gruesome, the werewolves and vampires are blaming each other. Kate is drawn into it , because her mentor has been one of the victims, and has to try and save herself and others.
There are times when this suffers from a certain amount of drag and shows a certain amount of new authorship.
