James A Burton | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Albert Johannson lives off the grid. He’s forgotten more than heremembers about his past, but those snippets he’s retained tell him twothings: he’s lived a long, looong time and he doesn’t trustanyone, particularly gods. He’s not any too fond of demons either,particularly the one that materializes in his kitchen wanting to hire him for aspecial mission. It’s as deadly to cross a demon as to deal with him, soAlbert reluctantly agrees to investigate, putting him in the path of a pricklyarson detective named Melissa el Hajj with trust issues of her own. Clashing ata crime scene, they uncover a broken seal that seems ancient enough to have beenforged by Solomon himself. The seal cries out to Albert that he must mend it orsomething dark and dire will happen. Albert, who has a special affinity formetal, must first discover exactly what that will do to his kind — andhe’s only just beginning to understand who and what he reallyis.
