Publisher Description
They stole her magic.
They killed her friends.
Nothing in the multiverse will stop her quest for revenge.
Kate Rossdale once held all the promise of becoming Baltimore's greatest sorceress. But promise is a hard thing to hold when your coven is murdered, your magic is stripped away, and the only solace left to you comes one powdered line at a time.
When she's offered the restoration of her power by a man she doesn't know or trust, Kate sets in motion the retribution of her enemies.
Soon she finds herself racing across the globe, and across worlds, venturing into exotic realms of forbidden dreams, to the spires of Lost Carcosa, hunting for the magic-thief who robbed her of everything she held dear, including the most dangerous magic any sorceress can possess—hope.
If you like Clive Barker, Joshua Bader, Shayne Silvers, Jim Butcher, M.D. Massey, and Brad Magnarella, you'll love this unique urban fantasy adventure!

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Skorkowsky (the Valducan series) channels heavy themes of guilt, grief, and addiction into a bloody quest for revenge in this explosive, world-spanning urban fantasy. Sorceress Kate Rossdale has spent years in a drugged-out haze, blaming herself for the accident that killed her friends and made her lose her magic. Then she meets the mysterious Richard Harcourt, who reveals to Kate that the tragedy was the result of a curse placed on her by a fellow sorceress named Candace in an attempt to steal Kate's magic. Harcourt, who has also been wronged by Candace, offers to remove the curse and restore Kate's abilities if she agrees to help him track the evil sorceress down. As Kate, Harcourt, and the allies they make along the way pursue Candace across multiple worlds, they discover that she has stolen the magic of many more sorcerers, making herself an impossibly powerful opponent. Gruesome fight scenes and wildly imaginative, richly described alternate worlds lend an epic feel to their adventure. Dark fantasy fans will relish this magical thrill ride.
