As chief sorcerer of Felport, someone <em>always </em>wants her dead.

Not to mention a mysterious knife-wielding killer in black who pops up in the most unexpected places.

    <body><![CDATA[Not sure why I enjoy Pratt's new series so much, but it seems to have hit the &quot;sweet spot&quot; for me right now.  Pratt has the goods--his writing is crisp, fast, and fun . . . to me he feels like the lovechild of Jim Butcher and Tim Powers.

    <![CDATA[The bad girl of the magical underworld is back and badder than ever.<br/><br/>Someone wants Marla Mason dead. Usually that&#8217;s not news. As chief sorcerer of Felport, someone <em>always </em>wants her dead. But this time she&#8217;s the target of a renegade assassin who specializes in killing his victims over days, months, or even <em>years</em>. Not to mention a mysterious knife-wielding killer in black who pops up in the most unexpected places. To make matters worse, an inmate has broken out of the Blackwing Institute for criminally insane sorcerers&#8212;a troubled psychic who can literally reweave the fabric of reality to match her own traumatic past.<br/><br/>With her wisecracking partner Rondeau reluctantly in tow, Marla teams up with a &#8220;love-talker&#8221; whose dangerous erotic spells not even she can resist. Together they&#8217;re searching the rapidly transforming streets of Felport for a woman who&#8217;s become the Typhoid Mary of nightmares, infecting everything&#8212;and everyone&#8212;she touches with a chaos worse than death itself.]]>

    <![CDATA[The bad girl of the magical underworld is back and badder than ever.<br/><br/>Someone wants Marla Mason dead. Usually that&#8217;s not news. As chief sorcerer of Felport, someone <em>always </em>wants her dead. But this time she&#8217;s the target of a renegade assassin who specializes in killing his victims over days, months, or even <em>years</em>. Not to mention a mysterious knife-wielding killer in black who pops up in the most unexpected places. To make matters worse, an inmate has broken out of the Blackwing Institute for criminally insane sorcerers&#8212;a troubled psychic who can literally reweave the fabric of reality to match her own traumatic past.<br/><br/>With her wisecracking partner Rondeau reluctantly in tow, Marla teams up with a &#8220;love-talker&#8221; whose dangerous erotic spells not even she can resist. Together they&#8217;re searching the rapidly transforming streets of Felport for a woman who&#8217;s become the Typhoid Mary of nightmares, infecting everything&#8212;and everyone&#8212;she touches with a chaos worse than death itself.]]>
