Description
Since he became the guardian of the Gate between our world and Feirie sixteen hundred years ago, Nick Medea, once Saint George, has battled to keep the darkest Feirie—the Wyld—from invading the mortal plane. With the dragon an unwilling part of him, Nick maintains balance between realms, often at great cost to him and those nearest to him.
Nick and his ragtag confederates—including the shape-shifter Fetch and Nick's reincarnated love, Claryce—have battled the Wyld, but mortals as sinister as the darkest Feirie. Now, with Prohibition in full swing and bootlegger wars embattling Chicago, a murderous evil born of the mortal world has turned its attention to the power of the Gate...and Nick himself.
Nick must turn again to his most untrustworthy ally: the dragon within. Yet even together they may not be enough to face what was once a man...but is now a creature even dragons may fear.

- content:
"There's a lot to digest in this fast-paced, unpredictable world with a surprisingly well-developed cast of characters, including a lovable shapeshifter, an honest detective in a dishonest city, feirie royalty, and a kelpie made of Lake Michigan waters. Because of many resemblances to Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, urban fantasy fans will be hoping for more from Nick Medea."

The enjoyable second Black City urban fantasy (after Black City Saint) picks up in early 20th-century Chicago, where Saint George, now going by Nick Medea, sits in front of the grave of an incarnation of his lost princess, Cleolinda. He and his loyal companion, Fetch, are attacked by a Wyld, a fairy creature from beyond the gate Nick has protected for 1,600 years. The novel unfolds like a mystery as curious characters and mutilated corpses pop up, some with supernatural origins. Knaak keeps the reader engaged in both the Chicago of the 1900s and the world of Feirie beyond the gate. New readers will catch up quickly, but Knaakâs efforts to draw them in leaves returning readers wading through some too-familiar material.
