Black City Dragon
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
A historical urban fantasy set in Prohibition-era Chicago, which combines action, mystery, and romance against a backdrop of gangland wars and the threat of supernatural horror. For sixteen hundred years, Nick Medea has guarded the gate between our world and Feirie, preventing the Wyld—the darkest Feirie of all—from coming into Chicago to find human prey. But since he defeated Oberon, more and more Wyld have been slipping through. Nick and his Feirie companion, the shapeshifter, Fetch, have been busy hunting them down. Nick keeps coming across the Dacian Draco, the sign of his ancient enemy Galerius, including a tattoo worn by a human thug. Unfortunately, every trail ends as if years old. Claryce, Nick's reincarnated love, has narrowly escaped two attempts on her life, and when Nick sees her wearing a broach with the Draco on it, he knows they must look more deeply into her former lives. With Wyld and gangsters wreaking havoc in Chicago, Nick and Claryce must confront the secrets of their pasts if they are to have any hope of finding out Galerius's plans before it's too late to stop them. Nick will need the help of all his friends, both human and Feirie, and the powers of the dragon within him, to keep Galerius from endangering the gate, Chicago, and all of humanity.

September 17, 2018
Knaak’s snappy third urban fantasy (after Black City Demon) featuring Nick Medea, the Saint George of legend and lore, adds intriguing dimensions to the Prohibition-era Chicago of its setting and the bonds among its characters, particularly Nick and the dragon with whom he shares consciousness. Nick and his shape-shifter companion, Fetch, have guarded the gates between the mortal and Feirie worlds for over 1,600 years, and their task has never been more trying. More vicious, otherworldly Wyld and Feirie refugees are slipping through daily, and all the signs indicate that Nick’s ancient enemy, Galerius, is fomenting a plan to reclaim his lost power. This plot threatens not only Nick and his reincarnated love, Claryce, but also Chicago, the gates, and history itself. Knaak builds intrigue as Nick and Claryce explore the pasts that they have endured, but though Claryce is central to the story, she remains a largely passive companion in Nick’s world of masculine action and intrigue. The novel’s complexity may challenge newcomers, but series fans will have much to savor in this adventure through Nick’s myth-laden world.

Nick Medea has guarded the magical gate in Chicago for 1,600 years, keeping the dark Wyld of Feirie from hunting humans. But there have been more Wyld coming through the barrier since Nick took down Oberon, and it's all Nick and his Feirie companion Fetch can do to dispatch them. On top of that, Nick's old enemy Galerius may have returned: Galerius's sign, the Dacian Draco, keeps appearing in different places at different times, without a trace. Now Nick's reincarnated lover Claryce is being targeted, too. Claryce and Nick must look into their pasts to find out Galerius's plans for their present, even as the Wyld and Chicago (and Feirie!) gangsters are running rampant. If Galerius wins, not only will the gate be compromised but the entire world could be at stake. VERDICT This fantastical follow-up to Black City Demon slides Prohibition Chicago into urban fantasy territory with a fast-paced plot and intelligent characters who keep the pages turning until the very end.--Kristi Chadwick, Massachusetts Lib. Syst., Northampton
