Book Description
The sun beat down on Ravenwood, turning the red dirt roads into shimmering mirages. Thirteen-year-old Lyra crouched in the shade of a weathered gum tree, her bare feet kicking up puffs of dust. Her ragged, ochre-dyed tunic stuck to her skin, and sweat trickled down her forehead, matting her tangled auburn hair. Hunger gnawed at her belly, a familiar pang she'd learned to ignore.

Whispers Under Ground
Author: Ben Aaronovitch
Publisher: Del Rey
ISBN: 0345524624
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
A WHOLE NEW REASON TO MIND THE GAP It begins with a dead body at the far end of Baker Street tube station, all that remains of American exchange student James Gallagher—and the victim’s wealthy, politically powerful family is understandably eager to get to the bottom of the gruesome murder. The trouble is, the bottom—if it exists at all—is deeper and more unnatural than anyone suspects . . . except, that is, for London constable and sorcerer’s apprentice Peter Grant. With Inspector Nightingale, the last registered wizard in England, tied up in the hunt for the rogue magician known as “the Faceless Man,” it’s up to Peter to plumb the haunted depths of the oldest, largest, and—as of now—deadliest subway system in the world. At least he won’t be alone. No, the FBI has sent over a crack agent to help. She’s young, ambitious, beautiful . . . and a born-again Christian apt to view any magic as the work of the devil. Oh yeah—that’s going to go well.

I’d poisoned him, but it wasn’t too late. I could fix it. So, I did. But he’s back. The boy blossomed into a man who wants to fight me for me. The past that rules me is dark and chaotic and violent.
