New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green continues his Secret Histories fantasy adventure series featuring supernatural super agent Eddie Drood.
Call me Edwin, Eddie, Shaman Bond ... whatever you like. I've been called worse, believe me.
After once again triumphing over the forces of darkness, Molly Metcalfe, the Witch of the Woods and my love, and I have returned to merry old England. After all, there's no place like home.
No. Seriously. There is no place like home--because the ancient, powerful, and supposedly invulnerable Drood family domicile has been obliterated. Along with my entire back-stabbing-yet-somehow-fiercely-loyal clan. Except that's not quite right. I mean, sure, things look bleak as hell. But in my line of work looks can be far more than deceiving. They can be deadly.
Some fiendish foe has somehow shifted the entirety of my home and kin to another dimension, replacing it with a ruin meant to throw me off the trail. Which means there is a trail. A trail I can follow ...
And I'm going to enjoy expressing my serious displeasure towards the dirty bastard at the end of it.
"The usual pithy banter, and Green's outrageously creative magic."--RT Book Reviews
