Synopsis

An immersive urban fantasy with a fun twist on legendary and mythological creatures

'With its fun interpretation of urban fantasy tropes, humor, coziness, real Edinburgh history, elaborate worldbuilding, formidable foes, and fleshed out characters, Touchpaper is an absolute delight full of heart, surprises, and the occasional adorable dog fart.' (Reedsy Discovery)

Drew Macleod is caught in a turf-war between Archer, the last remaining daemon and the incompetent angelii. Both seek to save humans from threats they don’t know exist, but Drew needs to find out who is hunting him personally through the dark closes and alleys of Edinburgh and why. He and Archer are helped by a feisty herbalist and a brilliant old clock-maker, but the dangers keep piling up.

This original and imaginative story lets a quirky cast characters lead us into a hidden and dangerous world. The contemporary setting and the richness of the characters holds our attention in a fast-paced and at times humorous read, full of plot twists and quirky details.

'One of those rare reads that stays with you long after you've put it down' (Facebook review)
