A Bone To Pick

by Ken Hughes

The magic to save lives - it's what everyone would kill for. For Adrian Corbin, not every case begins with fighting pyromancers or crawling through catacombs of terror. Sometimes it's safeguarding one budding magician and his friends. One who holds the secret of healing. No magic could be more precious, for Adrian's mission to make up for the lives he's cost, or for the forces that begin to stir at the rumors of this new power. Protecting a healer means being ready for anything - even the petty grudges and lies that could send his charges running straight into the grasp of the flame-throwing Duvals. Or the crime bosses that have begun to notice his work. Or the woman who turned his life upside down. To save a healer... Adrian Corbin knows how many people could die.

About the author

Ken Hughes lives in Los Angeles and has worked as a technical writer for missions to Mars and the governing body of the Internet (ICANN). He writes paranormal thrillers and urban fantasy, and has been known to argue over the difference between the two in his blog, www.KenHughesAuthor.com.

His novel Shadowed was nominated for a Global Ebook Award. The series he’s launching with the upcoming The High Road is meant to prove one thing: how writing a thrilling cliff-hanger for heroes who can fly takes writing to a whole new level. (Don’t get him started on puns.)
