<b>A thrilling new Victorian-era urban fantasy for fans of Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles, the Showtime series <i>Penny Dreadful,</i> and the Sherlock Holmes movies featuring Robert Downey, Jr.</b><br> <i> </i><br> <i>With a flood of dark magic about to engulf Victorian London, can a handful of heroes vanquish a legion of the undead?</i><br> <b> </b><br> 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.<br> <br> 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.<br><br><b>Praise for <i>The Undying Legion</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> "Monstrously entertaining."<b> - Wit and Sin</b><br> <b> </b><br> "These books are just pure unadulterated fun."<b> - Slapdash & Sundry</b><br> <b> </b><br> "An impressive follow-up in the Crown & Key trilogy."<b> - Bibliophage</b><br> <b> </b><br> "A pulse-pounding ride."<b> - Faire's Fair</b><br> <b> </b><br> "A delightful read! . . . <i>The Undying Legion</i> combines a thrilling well-developed plot with spectacular action sequences, witty banter, and unlikely heroes that are fabulously unique and fascinating."<b> - Goldilox and the Three Weres</b><br> <b> </b><br> "Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. . . .
