The Ancient Dark

HUMANITY HAS FORGOTTEN THE HORRORS THAT ONCE WALKED THE EARTH...

Xander Greysmith is a freelance wizard by trade. Unaffiliated with any of the world's secret societies, he and his partner Hank, a former soldier and seasoned monster hunter, offer their services to the highest bidder. Well, they would if business was booming. These days, they'll take what they can get.

The latest contract seemed simple enough. Fly to Mexico, grab some forgotten relic, then bring it to the Knights of Solomon. Unfortunately, things are seldom as simple as they seem.

After an apparent betrayal implodes Xander's world, a terrible darkness is unleashed upon the city. Now with the help of his feline familiar, and a monstrous spirit whispering secrets of forgotten magic, Xander will have to rise up against an evil bent on consuming everything in its path.

This wasn't what Xander signed up for, but if he doesn't stop the Ancient Dark before it's too late, it could usher in another dark age for humanity... and he might not get paid.

The Ancient Dark is the first book in a new Urban Fantasy series, Freelance Magic.
Written in 1st person, with fast-paced, visceral action, readers will be drawn into Xander's world full of magic, monsters, and mayhem. Despite frenetic pacing and elements of horror, expect more than a few laughs, as tension and humour are balanced on a knife's edge.
