A new Deadtown novel in the acclaimed dark urban fantasy series by the author of Bloodstone and Hellforged...
They call it Deadtown: Boston’s quarantined section for its inhuman and undead residents, a result of the zombie plague. Most humans avoid it like...well, like the plague—but shapeshifter Victory Vaughn, Boston’s only professional demon slayer, isn’t exactly human.
Boston’s demons have been disappearing, and Vicky’s clients are canceling left and right. While fewer demons might seem like a good thing, Vicky suspects foul play. A missing Celtic cauldron from Harvard’s Peabody museum leads her to an unwelcome conclusion: Pryce, her demi-demon cousin and bitter enemy, is trying to regain his full powers.
But Pryce isn’t alone. He’s conjured another, darker villain from Vicky’s past. To stop them from destroying everything she loves, she’ll have to face her own worst fear—in the realm of the dead itself.

Acerca del autor
Nancy Holzner grew up in western Massachusetts with her nose stuck in a book. This meant that she tended to walk into things, wore glasses before she was out of elementary school, and forced her parents to institute a “no reading at the dinner table” rule. It was probably inevitable that she majored in English in college and then, because there were still a lot of books she wanted to read, continued her studies long enough to earn a masters degree and a Ph.D.
She began her career as a medievalist, then jumped off the tenure track to try some other things. Besides teaching English and philosophy, she's worked as a technical writer, freelance editor and instructional designer, college admissions counselor, and corporate trainer. She is the author of the dark urban fantasy Deadtown series including such titles as Bloodstone, Hellhound, and Hellforged. She is also coauthor, with Nancy Conner, of the Bo Forrester mystery Peace, Love, and Murder.
Nancy lives in upstate New York with her husband Steve, where they both work from home without getting on each other's nerves. She enjoys visiting local wineries and listening obsessively to opera. There are still a lot of books she wants to read.
