Sometimes it feels very high fantasy with castles, horses, and magic and then they talk about modern things and tech like cameras, videography, cartoons, and bulldozers and you’re like, oh yeah. It was a little weird orienting myself to the world again after not being in it for a while though. Both are infamous for betraying their allies, so how can they create a believable alliance to meet the challenge of their enemies?Īs the prophet says: “It is better to marry than to burn.”įirst thought – it is SO great being back in the world of Kate Daniels. Desperate to shield her people and their simple way of life, she would accept help from the devil himself-and Hugh d’Ambray might qualify. Tasked with their protection, she’s trapped between the magical heavyweights about to collide and plunge the state of Kentucky into a war that humans have no power to stop. Her enemies call her Abomination her people call her White Lady. Fast.Įlara Harper is a creature who should not exist. Hugh knows he must carve a new place for himself and his people, but they have no money, no shelter, and no food, and the necromancers are coming.

Hugh is a shadow of the warrior he was, but when he learns that the Iron Dogs, soldiers who would follow him anywhere, are being hunted down and murdered, he must make a choice: to fade away or to be the leader he was born to be. Now his immortal, nearly omnipotent master has cast him aside. Hugh d’Ambray, Preceptor of the Iron Dogs, Warlord of the Builder of Towers, served only one man. No day is ordinary in a world where Technology and Magic compete for supremacy…But no matter which force is winning, in the apocalypse, a sword will always work. There is an author’s note in the front of the book explaining the events of The Iron Covenant trilogy all take place before the last Kate Daniels book (Magic Triumphs #10) but that the reading order is meant to be this one first, then Magic Triumphs, and then the following two Iron Covenant books which have yet to be published. This is an adult urban fantasy romance and the first book in The Iron Covenant series that features the character Hugh d’Ambray, from the Kate Daniels series, and a new character, Elara Harper. I would highly recommend reading the Kate Daniels series first because 1) it’s kick ass and amazing and 2) this book will spoil things from that series. This book takes place in the Kate Daniels series’ world.
