Liam Kelly grows up in the Catholic section of Derry, Northern Ireland, aware that the man who married his mother was not his father, and he hates him for it. What Liam doesn't know is that his true father is a member of the Fair Folk, who are at war with the Fallen, angels exiled from Heaven who now cause trouble on Earth. As the Troubles of the 1970s escalate, another battle rages behind the scenes and threatens everything Liam loves. Leicht's debut treats a complicated era with realism and sensitivity while infusing the violence of the times with dark magic and spiritual warfare.
VERDICT Featuring strong series potential, this polished urban fantasy will appeal to fans of Charles de Lint and Tanya Huff.
