Slinging
Spells with Broken Ribs Isn't Easy
Jonathan Harker, mage and
life-long demon hunter, wakes to find himself tied to a chair and severely
wounded. His captor, a demon in service to a summoner who wants Harker alive.
Armed with impossibly powerful
magic and a gang of demon toughs, the summoner has snared Harker in a deadly
trap. Nothing is ever easy, and being new in town has left Harker with few
allies. However, with help from a Fortune-Teller named Clover and a self-described
"Kitchen Witch" named Momma Dee, Harker fights back.
To prevail, Harker must walk
unprepared into a pit of demons and black magic - and come out alive on the
other side.
Excerpt:
My brain righted
itself, and I could pull my thoughts together.
Neither demon
seemed to possess magic. Instead, the creatures relied on their strength and
speed. There was no matching those physical attributes. To survive, I would
need to use a different tactic. Direct confrontation had failed, twice. My next
trick was misdirection.
“Tell me,” I
said. “How did a low-powered summoner rank high enough to afford two Demon
Nobles?”
Both demons, who
were whispering to one another across the room, turned to face me.
“You know us,”
Cresh said with a tone of surprise. The demon still pressed one hand tightly
against his wounded side.
“Yes,” I said.
“You knew and
you still entered to battle?”
“To be fair,” I
said. “I had no idea who was waiting.”
Cresh huffed a
small laugh; Mindal growled.
Well, I thought.
I know which one is the smart one.
