Chasing Embers (Ben Garston Novel) (The Ben Garston Novels)

by James Bennett

Not all stories are made up . . . There's nothing special about Ben Garston. He's just a guy with an attitude in a beaten-up leather jacket, drowning his sorrows in a downtown bar. Or so he'd have you believe. What Ben Garston can't let you know is that he's also known as Red Ben. That the world of myth and legend isn't just a fantasy, as we've been led to believe. And there's no way he can let you know the secret of what's hiding right under his skin . . . But not even Ben knows what kind of hell is about to break loose. A centuries-old rivalry has just resurfaced, and the delicate balance between his world and ours is about to be shattered. What's coming won't be a fairytale.

Absolutely fantastic. Dragons, mythology, ancient gods... and an epic showdown to match. What a great debut.

Chasing Embers is an exciting new urban-fantasy, beautifully written and on the gritty side. Red Ben is not as human as he seems, and his rather slumberous life is disturbed abruptly by an attempt on his life. A centuries-old pact has been breached, and it is up to Ben to find out what happened, and why.
