Produktbeschreibung
Ramona Stone is a retired boxer and cancer survivor barely getting by in a faded Rust-Belt town-until she unwittingly frees a jinni from a thrift-store teapot. Now her cat has the power of speech, an ultra-powerful being is bunking on her couch...and her snow-locked community is set to become a battleground between our reality and a magic netherworld beyond. For the shapeshifting cannibal ghul Ashera has vowed to pursue Izi al-Samoon from the frozen vales of urban West Virginia to the gates of Hell itself-or take Ramona's own weary soul in his place. Echoing the epic wainscot-fantasy traditions of Neil Gaiman and China Miéville and evoking the visceral horror of Clive Barker, Chris Fain's IRON & BRASS is a dark urban fable of unlikely heroes, unspeakable villains, and the lengths we go to for love and honor.
