Fantasy Urban
When Sylvie Lightner, South Miami Beach's only unlicensed supernatural detective, finds the bodies of five women in the Everglades, she thinks it's the work of a serial killer and passes the buck. Or attempts to. Then the bodies wake and shift shape, attacking and killing the police investigators, Sylvie's right back on the job. She recruits a necromancer, to help her, and together, they learn the truth: these shape-shifting women are the victims of a legendary sorcerer known as the soul-devourer, a man who has mingle alchemy, shape-shifting, and death magic into a gruesome whole. The soul-devourer has left a trail of dead women throughout the Gulf States, and Sylvie's determined that he'll be stopped here. That's before she learns he is so much more than a feared sorcerer--he's an immortal one, cursed by an angry god. It is hard enough to kill an immortal being, but it's even harder to take out the one who's learned to use human magics to outrun a god...
