For fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series and Simon Green's The Man with the Golden Torc, first book in a new urban paranormal series that will appeal to both male and female readers.

Ray Lilly is living on borrowed time. He's the driver for Annalise Powliss, a high-ranking

member of the Twenty Palace Society, a group of sorcerers devoted to hunting down

and executing rogue magicians. But because Ray betrayed her once, Annalise is looking

for an excuse to kill him-or let someone else do the job.

Unfortunately for both

of them, Annalise's next mission goes wrong, leaving her critically injured. With

the little magic he controls, Ray must complete her assignment alone. Not only does

he have to stop a sorcerer who's sacrificing dozens of innocent lives in exchange

for supernatural power, he must find-and destroy-the source of that inhuman magic.

BONUS- This edition contains excerpts from Harry Connolly'sGame of CagesandTwenty Palaces.

Reviews for Child of Fire (#1 Twenty Palaces)

Child of Fire is excellent reading: a truly dark and sinister world, delicious tension and suspense, violence so gritty you'll get something in your eye just reading it, and a gorgeously flawed protagonist. Take this one to the checkout counter. Seriously. --Jim Butcher, author of the Dresden Files<br>
