Amulets & Agony: A Tale of the Demon Whisperer Urban Fantasy S...

Amulets are the primary weapons in a mage's arsenal...but how does one protect himself when his own weapon is turned against him? Simon Alliant returns in a new tale of The Demon Whisperer! Twenty-four-year-old Simon has his eyes on a new prize: securing an apprenticeship with Professor Kent, a quiet scholar mage who had once shared a dormitory with Aleister Crowley's ghost.Nothing could have prepared him for the levels of mastery and magical highs toward which Kent's tutelage will propel him......or the bottom-scraping lows to which his own desperation will drag him when Kent—and his amulet—disappear without a trace.

From the Back Cover

There are demons all around us, legions of the dark that break loose from Hell's restraints to prowl the mortal plane. Most people can't see them and will never suffer their torments. They are the lucky ones.Guess that makes Simon Alliant the unluckiest man alive.He's learned that the only luck a man has is the luck he makes for himself. Call him exorcist. Call him master of the dark arts. Call him dime-store magician. Most names don't matter, not when Hell knows yours. Armed with his spells and his amulets and his desperate drive toward redemption, he fights the rising darkness and sends those demons screaming back into Hell, one minion at a time.But not all demons can be exorcised. Some dwell too deep inside a man's bones to be so easily banished. Simon is smart--or, at least, cynical--enough to know which battles are worth fighting. It takes more than a fistful of charms to stay alive in his line of work. And staying alive is the only way to avoid giving the Devil his due...

About the Author

USA Today best-selling author Ash Krafton is a writer of all things spec fic. She believes spectacular endings make the best beginnings... Why not? One billion black holes can't be wrong. The second bravest thing she's ever done was volunteering to go first when her Girl Scout troop visited a High Ropes challenge course somewhere back in the eighties. (Thankfully, few photos exist.) The third bravest thing was wearing her purple Colin Stuart boots with the extreme stiletto heel to her kids' school open house one year. (Three floors, all steps, no brakes.) The top of the Brave Things list, however, remains to be written. Contact Ash through her website: ashkrafton.comFacebook: Facebook.com/ashkraftonauthor Twitter: twitter.com/ashkrafton
