A city that doesn’t believe in magic. Bloodthirsty weredragons. Good

thing this reckless playboy has superpowers…

It’s been said that monsters cry when a good man goes to war. But they

should run screaming like little school girls when that man is

secretly a wizard, and maybe not necessarily good…

Nate Temple’s all-consuming quest to avenge his parents is temporarily

put on hold when shape-shifting dragons invade St. Louis. And perhaps

cow-tipping the Minotaur for answers might not have been Nate’s

smartest opening move, because now every flavor of supernatural thug

from our childhood nightmares is gunning for him. Nate learns that

the only way to save his city from these creatures is to murder his

best friend…

Nate’s choice will throw the world and his own conscience into cataclysmic

chaos: avenge his parents or become a murderer to save his city.

Because to do either, he’s going to have to show the world that

magic is very, very real, and that monsters are very, very hungry…

To survive, he might just need to take a page from the book, How to

Win Friends and Influence Monsters.

If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, or Patrick Rothfuss, you will

LOVE the first installment of The Nate Temple Supernatural Thriller

series.

The ancient pact between mankind, Heaven, and Hell has been broken. And

this upstart wizard’s quest for vengeance may have just kicked off

Armageddon. So, time for a drink… or maybe two.

Already plagued with sinister night terrors that could qualify him as a

card-carrying psychopathic insomniac, Nate can barely even manage to

put his pants on in the morning, let alone pick teams for the

Apocalypse.

But when he’s framed as a demon sympathizer, condemned by the Armies of

Heaven, and hunted down by both his allies and the Four Horsemen,

this wizard doesn’t think it can get any worse…

Then they take away his magic. And a wizard without magic stands no chance

against the forces of Heaven and Hell…

The Brothers Grimm – legendary supernatural assassins – have escaped

their prison, and their first day in St. Louis could be Nate Temple’s

last…

Sharing a beer with Death – one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse –

really put a few things into perspective for this foul-mouthed,

billionaire wizard. Like finally strapping on the boots to propose to

his girlfriend.

But assassination contracts have a way of putting wedding plans on hold.

Perhaps permanently. And with the entire wedding party on the

bloodthirsty Grimm’s hit-list, and his family fortune in jeopardy,

Nate realizes they can’t run and they can’t hide. So, time to do

magic and stuff…

But with every flavor of supernatural thug teaming up to help the Grimms,

Nate realizes that friends have become enemies and enemies have

become friends, and he’s forced to cross lines that are better left

uncrossed.

When magic, claws, and teeth dance to the song of war, the only thing left

to learn is who lives and who dies. And if Nate can live with the

consequences.

My resume is pretty full: I’ve cow-tipped the Minotaur, decimated a

gang of weredragons, sucker-punched an Angel, and eaten pancakes with

the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse…

I’ve kidnapped one of the most powerful wizards on the planet, and

slaughtered the Brothers Grimm. I’m kind of a big deal.

But I never thought I’d find myself at a crossroads, a pawn in a deadly

game that I hadn’t known existed, willing to sell my soul to save

the life of someone I loved… That’s when I learned true fear,

because the world I thought I knew was all just smoke and mirrors,

and I was just a puppy playing amongst wolves…

Thanksgiving Dinner plans with Death, an Angel, a vampire, Achilles, and a slew of

other monsters are cut short because a Monster Circus has come to

town. And the Beast Master needs new Monsters for his show…

But the Queens of Fae also want a little deep-fried wizard for the

holidays.

Oh, and Nate is losing that last finger-hold on his

sanity: hallucinating, and talking to creatures that no one else can

see. The ancient demon inside of him is getting stronger, fighting

for dominance, and only one of them can survive.

But when a wizard curses Nate, extorting him to rescue a lethal Chimera child

from the Beast Master’s Circus, Nate’s only option is to partner

with his inner demon, risking his very soul. But his friends begin to

doubt and fear this new, darker Nate, taking matters into their own

hands – even when that means standing against him.

With allies turned enemies, the Fae breathing down his neck, and a

dangerous child’s life on the line, Nate must call upon, bully, and

coerce new storybook legends and gods to save his traitorous friends

from becoming the Beast Master’s next victims…

Discover what – if anything – Nate is willing to sacrifice to save the

friends who betrayed him…
