blackwood (The DARKSTEPPER Quadrilogy) (Volume 3)

In Volume Three of The Darkstepper Quadrilogy, the supernatural martial arts adventure continues... An army of undead zombie soldiers threatens the borders of the City, and Gaia Coriander Blackwood, once Regent of a Great House, now merely a Ronin shapeshifter with a price on her head, stands alone in opposition. As she attempts to challenge Serena Waterhouse, the Witch Queen in her mad dash for dominance and avoid the threat of an all-out war amongst the remaining Houses, Gaia must fight for her life with Blood Enemies at every turn. Aided and sometimes hindered by Aeryn Windwalker, Agent Inquisitor and Griffin Sundance of House Sekhmet Gaia finds herself immersed once more in the tenebrous underworld of enchanted tattoos, haunted carnivals, rockabilly werewolves, evil clown assassins, zombie civil war soldiers and a 24-hour time traveling diner with the best pie in town.
