Late one night after a strange tube journey to Whitechapel in East London, Paul makes a new friend, John Redman - daring and enigmatic, just as Paul longs to be, away from his cloying mother (his only family - so he thinks). Redman charms Paul at once, but also a girl called Jude they meet on a night about town. A few days later, Paul learns that Jude has mysteriously died, and Redman has disappeared. Shortly after that, one of Paul's teacher dies suddenly - frightened to death - near where Jude's body was found. A link for sure. And Paul feels implicated, because both victims were known to him. He senses Redman, who comes and goes as it suits him, is involved as well. His new friend is dangerous. But so, we learn, is Paul. In uncovering the truth about Redman he learns shocking facts about himself. There's an evil curse loose in his family and Paul is the latest inheritor. The spree of death - camouflagued as copycat Jack the Ripper-style murders - will continue until Paul confronts the demon in himself head on.

Wings are supposed to represent freedom, but it's damn hard to fly in the middle of a supernatural freaking hurricane Though I've been diligently tackling my good old shitlist, the thing just keeps getting longer and longer. Story of my rotten life. Yelena's attack on Breccan's court and Nicarys's demise by yours truly had left the already frail Shadow World a whole lot worse for wear. Patching up damages has always been a temporary solution at best, but with the landslide we've been riding for the past months turning into a churning roll, the entire demonic race is running out of time. As far as I'm concerned, the only thing worse than the looming deadline is attempting to meet it while trying to save my own damn life. Reiner hasn't given up on his dream of draining my powers-he can't, not with my Nechist heritage fuelling the feverish obsession that can only end in death. Mine. Or his. I'm adamant for the outcome to be option B. But when foes are formidable and allies few, the solution isn't as easy as sinking a nice, sharp dagger between the ribs. Don't miss out on the action-packed finale to the Shade Assassin series fans of Jennifer Estep, Kim Harrison, and Laurell K. Hamilton are sure to devour! One-click today to start reading!
