Roll the Bones

Corbin Cases #1

by Ken Hughes

Fire before them – a phantom enemy behind them. Only his fear magic can save them. Adrian Corbin is ready for his first case against the darkest threats and the most dangerous arcane secrets in his city. Until the mysterious Maya comes to him for help against the pyrokinetic thugs that are stalking her – and an invisible, unstoppable enemy orders him to steal Maya’s own hidden magic. Everyone he knows could pay the price, if he refuses to betray her. Now Adrian fights through burning streets and forgotten archives, wielding the frightful power he won from the cursed tunnels that still haunt his nightmares. To keep Maya safe. To learn why she’s hunted. To protect both her and the people in his own life… and discover who the ultimate threat may be. He thought he was ready. But you’re never ready for when all the lies and the secrets of magic go up in flames. The thrilling Corbin Cases urban fantasy series is about to begin.

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.)
