The Hiding (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781957537832)

"On its face, The Hiding is an enthralling adventure of demons, spirits, witches and their hunters. Within its secret rooms, it's an examination of identity and community and the very real magic therein."-Rae Knowles, Author of The Stradivarius & Merciless Waters "A delightful weave of supernatural mystery and family drama, balanced against a tale of found family and pain."-Alexander James, Author of The Woodkin "A surreal supernatural murder mystery through the streets of an alternate York, woven with chilling prose, throat-rending creatures, and a found family to triumph over all."-S. A. MacLean author of The Phoenix Keeper
Arcane archivist Harper has always been plagued by dreams of grotesque creatures and bloody deaths. When she bumps into a ghostwalker in the Shambles and has a visceral experience of his execution, she knows it's a foretelling. Yet fear of the Queen's Guard stops her speaking out. When her vision indeed comes true, the unusual markings on the ghostwalker's corpse, combined with his neatly excised vocal cords, send a ripple of terror through York. The witch hunt is on. As the body count rises, Harper knows her magic is the only way to find the killer-if she can avoid being hanged as a witch. To protect both human and supernatural, Harper walks the thin line between their worlds. She and her demonhunter foster-sister form a multi-faith team with a forensic scientist, a spirit Harper accidentally summoned, and a techno-witch, to catch the killer before more people die.
