Description
It's not as great as you'd think, living in a tourist town that's known as "the most magical place in America." Same boring high school, just twice as many monsters under the bridges and rival Families killing each other for power.
I try to keep out of it. I've got my mom's bloodiron sword and my slightly illegal home in the basement of the municipal library. And a couple of Talents I try to keep quiet, including very light fingers and a way with a lock pick.
But then some nasty characters bring their Family feud into my friend's pawn shop, and I have to make a call--get involved, or watch a cute guy die because I didn't. I guess I made the wrong choice, because now I'm stuck putting everything on the line for Devon Sinclair. My mom was murdered because of the Families, and it looks like I'm going to end up just like her. . .
A Note From the Publisher
THE FIRST IN A BRAND NEW YA FANTASY SERIES BY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JENNIFER ESTEP!
Advance Praise
“Estep’s series starter begins well enough…The characters are as fantastic as Estep fans have come to expect.” – RT Book Reviews
“Steeped in gripping action scenes, Estep’s novel is a welcome twist on familiar fantasy themes.” – Publishers Weekly
“[Estep’s] pace will keep readers engaged. While romance does not in any way overpower the story, those who appreciate a little steam with their swordplay will not be disappointed. Lila is a feisty, independent girl, who only occasionally gets sidetracked by masculine trappings. Readers will admire her determination to take care of business in her own way…this new series will be a hit with urban fantasy and paranormal fans.” – VOYA (Adult Reviewer)
“This is a wonderful story for anyone seeking a thrilling, magical read that can change their perspective on stereotypical fantasy books.” – VOYA (Teen Reviewer)
“Estep delivers an action-oriented urban fantasy [with] a touch of humor and whimsy.” – School Library Journal
“This is a refreshing twist on the fighter-girl story, particularly due to the mobster framework, Estep’s trademark subtle humor, and Lila’s sassy first-person take on her world. Give this to established Estep fans, but also try it with fans of Jennifer Lynn Barnes.”– Booklist
