Wolf in Shadow-eARC
Advance Reader Copy Unproofed
Urban fantasy in one of the world’s greatest cities.
Rhian, a girl from the Welsh valleys on the run from tragedy and herself, finds a new home in the modern East End of London, where the world’s largest financial center spins a web of money and power from glistening towers of chrome
and glass. Beneath the digital façade lurks the old East End where the layers of two thousand years of dramatic and
violent history slide over one another like glaciers, spilling out in avalanches that warp the real world.
As bodies begin to litter the East End streets, The Commission dispatches its best enforcers to deal with the situation: Karla is not human, and Jameson left his humanity behind in pieces in Northern Ireland and Afghanistan. Rhian makes new friends, dangerous friends; and where Rhian goes, the wolf is always in her shadow, just a heartbeat away.
Among the bankers and traders of the East End walk demons in human form and who is to say which are the monsters? London is a magical bomb waiting to explode and somewhere a fuse is hissing.
