Imperfect Magic

Beschreibung

After hundreds of years of dying, you'd think I'd be better at it by now... One moment, I'm a heretical priest in the twelfth century--hunted, hated, and on fire. Next, I'm waking up in the nearest corpse, stuck in an endless cycle of instant reincarnation, popping back up like a tarnished penny. Fast-forward eight hundred years, and you'd assume I've learnt something useful. Spoiler: I haven't. Unless you count "how to die often and dramatically" as a transferable skill. Now, my territory in the South of France is under threat; I'm trapped by some impossible angel-forged runes, and the celestial choir seems to have swapped their halos for red lightsabres. If they've gone full dark side, reality itself might be next on the chopping block. I need to figure out who's behind this--and fast. Because dying's always been my thing... but you can't reincarnate if there's nothing left to come back to. imPerfect Magic is the first book in the best-selling imPerfect Cathar series, a darkly funny supernatural suspense packed with immortal heretics, divine disasters, and death with a punchline. If you can't wisecrack while death is on the line? Well... maybe you're not dying right. Contains strong language, dark humour, and graphic violence. Winner of the PenCraft Literary Award, the Best Indie Book Award, the Audiobook Reviewer Award, and the American Legacy Book Award. ___________________________________________________________________ Praise for The imPerfect Cathar Series: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Humor, horror, and heroism, Perfectly blended together. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Franky was entertaining as hell... ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If this is CN Rowan's first book, then watch out literary world. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An intriguing world that drew me in by the first page. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Read it.

Autor

Award-winning author of the imPerfect Cathar series. It's been a strange, unbelievable journey to arrive at the point where these books are going to be released into the wild, like rare, near-extinct animals being returned to their natural habitat, already wondering where they're going to nick cigarettes from on the plains of Africa, the way they used to from the zookeeper's overalls. C.N. Rowan ("Call me C.N., Mr. Rowan was my father") came originally from Leicester, England. Somehow escaping its terrible, terrible clutches (only joking, he's a proud Midlander really), he has wound up living in the South-West of France for his sins. Only, not for his sins. Otherwise, he'd have ended up living somewhere really dreadful. Like Leicester. (Again - joking, he really does love Leicester. He knows Leicester can take a joke. Unlike some of those other cities. Looking at you, Slough.) With multiple weird strings to his bow, all of which are made of tooth-floss and liable to snap if you tried to use them to do anything as adventurous as shooting an arrow, he's done all sorts of odd things, from running a hiphop record label (including featuring himself as rapper) to hustling disability living aids on the mean streets of Syston. He's particularly proud of the work he's done managing and recording several French hiphop acts, and is currently awaiting confirmation of wild rumours he might get a Gold Disc for a song he recorded and mixed.
