Prague: once a city of
alchemists, astronomers, heretics,
and--it's even been rumored--portals to hell, and now the
destination of every disaffected, beer-loving kid in a
backpack. But when musicologist Sarah Weston accepts an
invitation to spend the summer at Prague Castle cataloging
Beethoven's manuscripts for the wealthy Lobkowicz family,
she discovers a city filled not with ex-pats, but with dark
magic, where the fabric of time is thin and danger lies
around every corner.
Soon after Sarah arrives, strange things begin to happen.
Her predecessor may have been murdered, and Sarah finds
herself at the center of escalating and dangerous mysteries
spanning several centuries. Who is killing off the
academics at the museum? What secrets of time travel was a
sixteenth-century alchemist hiding? Who was Beethoven's
Immortal Beloved? What Communist-era intrigue is a powerful
American politician willing to kill to cover up?
In CITY OF DARK MAGIC, Prague comes to life
with cinematic scenes filled with excitement and intrigue.
With the turn of each page, you could find murder,
paranormal time travel, a handsome prince in search of the
Golden Fleece or a 400-year-old dwarf who holds a golden key
that will unlock the city. Rollicking, sexy and wildly
imaginative, CITY OF DARK MAGIC could be
called a rom-com paranormal suspense novel—or it could
simply be called one of the most entertaining novels of the
year, which will leave you anxiously awaiting the sequel.
