: 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,535) Paperback £12.61
Harry Dresden Meets Jack Reacher. Cain used to kill for the fae. The only human to become a member of the Oblivion Guard, he killed one time too many and had enough. Leaving it all behind wasnt as easy as turning in a resignation. But the fae had trained him too well and couldnt stop him.
Now a tracker for an assassination and bounty hunting agency, Cain doesnt kill anymore. When his mission to track a teenage girl goes horribly wrong, he and the girl end up on the run from powerful forces the likes of which hes never seen before.
Thats because the fae have been hiding a terrible secret. The gods arent dead. In fact, theyre very much alive and killing humans they deem too powerful to survive. The girl is in their crosshairs and now he is too.
To make matters worse, Cain discovers hes dying from the curse of Cthulhu. The cure Eating a living, beating unicorn heart. Cain thought unicorns were extinct, but a mystery party offers him salvation: a unicorn for the assassination of the leader of the Mages Guild.
With the gods, the fae, and the rest of the supernatural world hunting the hunter, the odds dont look good. But Cain has survived too much to give up now. And the high and mighty are about to find out what real fear feels like.
Heres what readers have to say:
There are parts very reminiscent of the Dresden Files Series.
The story moves quickly without a slow-burn intro.
The first of the UF genre to tell their own sotry without trying to make it Dresden Files on amphetamines.
Absolutely loved this book. Can highly recommend it. Was fast paced, but showed depth of characters so you were totally immersed in the book.
I appreciate all the nerd culture references.
Unexpected twists and turns in the plot, and the MC had to use some actual thought process for problem solving.
A unique view of the supernatural world. Well written with an interesting anti hero protagonist to keep things moving, and riveting.
Great story. Plenty of twists and turns. Good character building.
Bow before Cthulhu and read the Chronicles of Cain.
