Description
Violence. Magic. Inappropriate humor. Welcome to Volume 1 of The Wild Rites Saga -- over 1400 pages of gritty, sexy urban fantasy with an unlikely heroine, sizzling heroes, and complicated villains.
Enter a world where blood can speak, magic can die and gods walk among us. Where powerful and deadly shapechangers live right alongside us, in modern cities and in ancient sanctuaries unknown to humankind, descendants of a magical union between wild gods and mortals forged in the mists of time.
The many races of their kind share an ages-old prophecy that foretells of a human woman born to command the magic of all shapechanging races. She is the Caller of the Blood, and her power is either a weapon or the ultimate pacifier -- depending on who commands her.
But first they have to find her.
Emma Chase is nothing special -- if anything, with a roomie who turns into a jaguar on a regular basis, she’s the sidekick, not the heroine. Her superpowers have more to do with acing her finals and overworking herself. Knowing her best friend’s secret makes it easier to justify her own inclination to keep people at a distance, but it doesn’t change her life. Magic is real? Big deal. Bills still gotta be paid. Especially when you’re heading into vet med.
But then the wild things show up on her doorstep, convinced she’s the fated savior of their race, telling her she’s destined to control the magic of -- well, Emma doesn’t quite catch that part, she’s too busy getting her ass the hell out of there. In a race for her freedom and her sanity, rival kingdoms clash and unlikely friends show up in the strangest of places.
Emma’s determined to choose her own destiny -- but that gets more and more difficult, especially when it becomes apparent that she isn’t just the metaphysical equivalent of a weapon of mass destruction -- she’s also a miracle cure for the mysterious wasting illness slowly but surely eradicating shapechanger races the world over.
Kings and queens, royals and rivalry, gods and monsters. All of it would be enough to contend with, but Emma’s also managed to attract the attention of something else even more ruthless, bloody and terrifying. Something the shapechangers call soul-eater.
This is the world Emma has to survive in now, but she wants more than survival. She wants to keep her friends safe, stay true to herself, and maybe do some good, all without getting her heart broken. But the odds are stacked against her.
The Wild Rites Saga is an ongoing series, and all books are full-length reads with satisfying resolutions as well as a series-spanning story arc. Definitely no cliff-hangers -- just bad-ass shifters with one goal: claim the prize. Claim the Caller of the Blood.
