Malcolm MacFarlane is hunting monsters when he discovers
something much bigger than any remnant of the werewolves
he previously encountered. A ritual sacrifice has Malcolm
requesting the assistance of his fellow monster hunters,
Kate Anstruther and Simon Archer. Will they be able to
stop the diabolical plot in time to save London?
THE UNDYING LEGION is the second book in the Crown &
Key series but can easily be read as a standalone.
However, I can't imagine why anyone would want to miss
out on a single moment of the fun! From werewolves to
necromancers, THE UNDYING LEGION is an urban
fantasy/steampunk readers' delight.
I love the characters in THE UNDYING LEGION! Clay and
Susan Griffith have done a marvelous job at creating a
cadre of monster hunters with their own unique voices. I
have to admit that I have a soft spot for Charlotte, our
young werewolf, and the scenes between Charlotte and
Malcolm are absolutely priceless.
THE UNDYING LEGION is yet another thrilling read from
Clay and Susan Griffith. If you love fast paced
steampunk and urban fantasy stories with surprising
twists and turns, then THE UNDYING LEGION is right up
your alley! Clay and Susan Griffith offer readers a
smorgasbord of supernatural entities and the concluding
teaser leaves me wanting the series finale, The
Conquering Dark, right now.
A thrilling new Victorian-era urban fantasy for fans of
Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles, the Showtime series
Penny Dreadful, and the Sherlock Holmes movies
featuring Robert Downey, Jr. With a flood of dark magic about to engulf Victorian
London, can a handful of heroes vanquish a legion of the
undead? When monster-hunter
Malcolm MacFarlane comes across the gruesome aftermath of a
ritual murder in a London church, he enlists the help of
magician-scribe Simon Archer and alchemist extraordinaire
Kate Anstruther. Studying the macabre scene, they struggle
to understand obscure clues in the ancient Egyptian
hieroglyphics carved into the victim’s heart—as well as
bizarre mystical allusions to the romantic poetry of William
Blake. One thing is clear: Some very potent black magic is
at work.
But this human sacrifice is only the
first in a series of ritualized slayings. Desperate to save
lives while there is still time, Simon, Kate, and
Malcolm—along with gadget geek Penny Carter and Charlotte,
an adolescent werewolf—track down a necromancer who is
reanimating the deceased. As the team battles an unrelenting
army of undead, a powerful Egyptian mummy, and
serpentine demons, the necromancer proves an elusive quarry.
And when the true purpose of the ritual is revealed, the
gifted allies must confront a destructive force that is
positively apocalyptic.
