Dorian Lake
spent years cornering the Baltimore hex-crafting market, using his skills at
the hermetic arts to exact karmic justice for those whom the system has failed.
He keeps his magic clean and free of soul-corrupting Netherwork, thus avoiding
both the karmic blow-back of his practice and the notice of the Presidium, a
powerful cabal of practitioners that polices the esoteric arts in America.
However, when an unscrupulous Netherworker interferes with both his business
and his personal life, Dorian's disarming charisma and hermetic savvy may not
be enough to keep his soul out of jeopardy.
His rival, a soul monger named Neil Osterhaus,
wouldn't be such a problem were it not for Carmen, Dorian's captivating
ex-lover. After two years' absence Carmen arrives at Dorian’s doorstep with a
problem: she sold her soul to Osterhaus, and has only two weeks to buy it back.
Hoping to win back Carmen's affections, Dorian must find a replacement soul
without tainting
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I am a storyteller, eager to transport
the reader to strange yet familiar worlds. My writing is dark, fantastical, at
times stretching the limits of the human experience, and other times hinting at
the monsters lurking under your bed. I write science fiction, urban fantasy,
horror, and several shades in between.
I am a husband and a father, living in
the “wine country” of central Maryland. I’m surrounded by grapevines and cows.
During the day I commute to Baltimore, and somehow manage to escape each
afternoon with only minor scrapes and bruises. I am also a homebrewer and a
certified beer judge. My avocations dovetail nicely!
