Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Alexi Sokolsky is a Spook, a hitman and mage capable of killing with nothing but a word of power and the strength of his will. But arcane ability comes with a price: The same powers that make Alexi indispensable to the Russian Mafia also make him a social outcast, an object of fear and superstition. When a high-ranking Sicilian Mafioso is brutally murdered and dumped on Russian Mafia territory covered in Occult sigils, everyone blames the only mage they know - Alexi. Forced to play detective to clear his name, Alexi discovers that the gruesome sacrifice is only the beginning of a hunt that threatens Life as we know it. A Gift Horse - a mysterious creature rumored to carry the secrets of all creation in her flesh and blood - has landed in New York. Every underworld mage in the city is slavering over the limitless power she can provide, and in her desperation, she is calling to Alexi for help. If Alexi heeds the Gift Horse's call, he stands to lose his place in the Mafia and his life. If he doesn't, the world will be held hostage by whoever finds her first - and given that a demon-summoning murderous psychopath is in pole position, the odds are not in the world's favor. Nominated for the 2016 Dragon Award alongside Urban Fantasy greats such as Jim Butcher and Larry Correia, Blood Hound pushes the boundaries of the genre to deliver a dark triple-threat of murder mystery, magic and mafia drama.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Alexi Sokolsky is a hunter. A mage and a hitman for the Russian Mafiya, he is a ruthless, fearless savant killer. He is also a chaste mystic who knows, deep down, that the world of organized crime is sick... and that he is sick for being a part of it. Little does he know just how literal that sickness is. Because even a hunter has predators, and Alexi is about to meet them. While hunting a kidnapped mobster, the key to New York City's lucrative cocaine trade, Alexi uncovers a deadly conspiracy to hold the world hostage with an ancient being of incredible magical power. Stalked by demons and rival hitmages, he must navigate a black magic minefield of treachery, murder and painful revelation in his pursuit of the truth – truth that forces him to make a decision that could change his life and the course of the world forever. Set in the early 1990s, The Hound of Eden is an Occult Supernatural Thriller series in the tradition of Hellboy, Constantine and The Fifth Element. Action, horror, vivid romance and a powerful vein of real-world mysticism are driven by a complex cast of blue-collar mages, flesh-eating vampires, primordial shapeshifters, and sentient fruit from the trees of Eden.
