Silas Mercer is a dead man walking.
And the mysterious Order of the Golden Dawn have big plans for their newest
ankou
and his deathly bandalore.
Life as a servant of death has its challenges.
But the biggest one of all is Silas's daemonic guardian, Pitch.
He may look like heaven, but he's making Silas's life all kinds of hell.
The daemon is arrogant, egotistical and his appetite for violence and tea cakes is fast outgrowing the small village where they have been recuperating since their run-in with Black Annis.
Now, the increasingly unstable Blight is causing new havoc, and fresh monstrosities are emerging.
Pitch and Sickle are back in the saddle, and on their way to the haunted Forest of Dean.
But can Silas rely on his guardian's protection?
Or will Pitch prove to be the most dangerous encounter of all?
This is the second book in the exciting new gaslamp fantasy series, The Diabolus Chronicles.
Contains: Detailed sex scenes, violence and more than a few curses.
