As a reckless playboy living the lifestyle only a billionaire heir could, he easily earns the hatred and envy of everyone in St. Louis - especially the monsters.

Produktbeschreibung
A city that doesn't believe in magic. Bloodthirsty weredragons. Good thing this reckless playboy has superpowers. Nate Temple has authority issues. As a reckless playboy living the lifestyle only a billionaire heir could, he easily earns the hatred and envy of everyone in St. Louis - especially the monsters. But that tends to happen when you're also secretly a wizard... and your idea of fun is cow-tipping the reformed Buddhist Minotaur, asking too many questions, and instinctively thumbing your nose at anyone more powerful than you. Shape-shifting dragons are dead set on taking over his city. Nate, never one to back down from an impossible fight, joins his closet-werewolf, FBI Agent friend, to stake a flag under the St. Louis Arch, declaring it immune to a reptile dysfunction. But dragons begin to crawl out of the stonework, hungry for a fire-roasted wizard and werewolf kabob. Temple finds his magical anonymity challenged by the journalistic efforts of the five o'clock news. Nate must learn the truth of a stunning betrayal that leads all the way back to his parents' murder if he hopes to save everyone he cares about. But not before he wraps up a little bit of dragon hunting. Obsidian Son is the first installment in the Nate Temple series of Supernatural Thrillers, and is said by readers to be a fine addition to the shelves beside the Greats themselves: Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, and Patrick Rothfuss.
Autorenporträt
Shayne is a man of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by his mystery... in other words, a story-teller. He's the guy itching for confrontation, oozing testosterone from more pores than the average male has room for. He is a published author of fiction novels and currently makes a living in the commercial lending realm for a nationally known bank in the Midwest. He hails from Denver, but has survived from New York City, to Miami, to Los Angeles, to Chicago, and even across the pond in London, before finally settling in Missouri where he not so secretly works on the global domination plan he intends to achieve by his mid-thirties. He holds two high-ranking black belts in the Martial Arts, loves coffee, drinks adrenaline before going to bed, and wishes he could share a glass of wine with Alexander the Great, Achilles, and Thomas Jefferson... at the same time. He dresses like the world is his red carpet, and is the father of a bearded baby man-ling with his wife, the Duchess of Russia. He is currently hard at work on Blood Debts - the sequel to Obsidian Son - that will be released late 2015. He hopes that you enjoyed reading Nate's story as much as he enjoyed writing it.
