Newbie necromancer Learyn Dustrikke is not too thrilled to be in Norway, leaving her San Francisco home behind. The life on Nordstr\u00f8m Island is anything but easy: murder, mayhem, and violence rule trainees\u2019 everyday lives. An eerie livl\u00f8s haunts Learyn\u2019s dreams whereas a soured friendship with a close friend is wreaking havocs on her piece of mind. Struggling to navigate the ups and lows of her chaotic life as the owner of powerful death magic, Learyn must deal with another threat, which is darker and deadlier than before. Nixon complements the story\u2019s dark tone with characters\u2019 introspective musings and atmospheric imagery. She sustains a high level of suspense while adding new insights into the character of her endearing lead: Learyn is a reckless and unrelenting protagonist, ready to take on anyone who gets in her way. Toward the end though, she achieves an understanding about her own role that she\u2019s expected to play in the Dustrikke history. Like her resolute heroine, Nixon\u2019s writing is full of intelligence and a razor-sharp wit. The dialogue is crisp and witty, the pacing swift, and the plotting tight. Violence, bloodshed, and gore are in plenty. Along the way, Nixon weaves in complex themes of PTSD, trauma, rape, slavery, self-doubts, friendship, love, and self-discovery. This marvelous tale is certain to win Nixon a whole new bunch of urban fantasy fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
