A Fistful Of Charms, De Kim Harrison. Editorial Harpertorch, Tapa Blanda En Inglés, 2006

Descripción

The author of the bestselling Dead Witch Walking makes her hardcover debut with this spellbinding supernatural adventure featuring Rachel Morgan. Things are going well for Rachel, a witch and one-third of the runner service Vampiric Charms. She has a business, friends, and a semi-regular—and always-sexy—boyfriend, Kisten, who is a vampire, just like her roommate Ivy.

An unexpected call for help sends Rachel out of Cincinnati on a desperate trip to rescue the son of her business partner Jenks. The journey quickly turns dangerous when confronting an old love becomes a fight for survival. The ancient, mystical statue Nick Sparagmos has stolen holds the key to wild magic that can change humans into Weres. For the first time in millennia, the Were packs are banding together to overthrow both humans and Inderlanders.

The ensuing fight will shake Rachel’s very soul, and she will never be the same. This entry in Harrison's intricate Hollows series plunges into action as Rachel, a Cincinnati witch, completes her latest bounty hunting mission. The book gains momentum when Rachel returns home to find her ex, Nick, has involved her partner Jenks's son in a criminal enterprise, leading to their imprisonment by Weres for stealing a priceless artifact.

With the help of magic, Jenks—a pixie—is given human proportions to accompany Rachel on a mission to rescue his son. The operation spirals out of control, with Rachel deciding to also rescue Nick. Harrison provides conflict as Rachel debates how far she will go into the dark arts to achieve her goals; past and present loves compete for her attention; and Weres battle vampires for dominance.

Kim Harrison is known for the Hollows series, but has also written young adult, thrillers, anthologies, and graphic novels. She has published traditional fantasy under the name Dawn Cook and is working on new projects alongside the Hollows books.
