Ren Huxley asks Alastair Stone to investigate suspicious deaths in the Chicago area—oh, and did she mention that witnesses identified the killer as some kind of giant, half-transparent lizard?

Just another day at the office, right?

Stone and Verity head to Chicago to investigate, but soon find far more than they were looking for—including an odd colony of suspiciously long-lived humanoids deep beneath the city’s streets and a potentially perilous extradimensional gateway that might be spitting out far more than oversized, predatory lizards.

Stone’s investigation turns up a shocking connection between the subterranean dwellers, the gateway, and the creatures—but that isn’t even the weirdest part of the whole situation. How long have these underground dwellers been down there, why are they there in the first place, and what do they want?

And, most importantly, why are they dead set against Stone stopping the monsters before they—or something even worse—strike again?

Looking for a thrilling urban fantasy world with characters you’ll love and compelling plots that will keep you guessing? Get in at the beginning of this #1 Amazon-bestselling series readers are calling “Unstoppable” and “A major winner!”

An occult studies professor and a powerful mage—Alastair Stone is an Indiana Jones for urban fantasy readers. With ghosts and curses, spells and buried secrets, these adventures provide both thrills and goosebumps."
--Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of the Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series and co-author of Dune: House Atreides
