Synopsis
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."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review
"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
"Ray Lilly is one of the most interesting characters I've read lately, and Harry Connolly's vision is amazing. I can hardly wait for the next one." --Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse series"Cinematic and vivid, with a provocative glimpse into a larger world. Where's the next one?"--Terry Rossio, screenwriter, Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy "Classic dark noir, fresh ideas, and good old-fashioned storytelling."--John Levitt, author of Dog Days "Redemption comes wrapped in a package of mystery and horror that hammers home the old saying 'Don't do the crime if you can't do the time' . . . and even then you'd better check the yellow pages for one bad-ass exterminator first."--Rob Thurman, author of Nightlife
"A fine novel with some genuinely creepy moments. I enjoyed it immensely and hope we'll see more of Ray Lilly."--Lawrence Watt-Evans, author of the Obsidian Chronicles
