Blood of the Earth

by Faith Hunter

Overview

In this series set in the same world as the Jane Yellowrock novels, New York Times bestselling author Faith Hunter introduces Nell Ingram, who wields powers as old as the earth.

When Nell Ingram met skinwalker Jane Yellowrock, she was almost alone in the world, exiled by both choice and fear from the cult she was raised in, defending herself with the magic she drew from her deep connection to the forest that surrounds her.

Now, Jane has referred Nell to PsyLED, a Homeland Security agency policing paranormals, and agent Rick LaFleur has shown up at Nell’s doorstep. His appearance forces her out of her isolated life into an investigation that leads to the vampire Blood Master of Nashville.

Nell has a team—and a mission. But to find the Master’s kidnapped vassal, Nell and the PsyLED team will be forced to go deep into the heart of the very cult Nell fears, infiltrating the cult and a humans-only terrorist group before time runs out...

When Nell Nicholson Ingram met skinwalker Jane Yellowrock, she had been exiled by the cult she was raised in, God's Cloud of Glory. Nell has power, and her connection to the forest that surrounds her Soulwood Farm protects her. After Jane refers her to PsyLED, a federal agency that polices paranormals, Nell gets drawn into the investigation of an antiparanormal terrorist group called Human Speakers of Truth. Joining this PsyLED team will bring Nell back into the world—one full of strangers and possible friends, and the Blood Master of Nashville. When the Master's vassal is kidnapped, Nell and her team are forced to go deep into the heart of the very cult Nell fears. VERDICT Hunter introduces a new heroine with ties to her "Skinwalker" series that will please fans of those books. Plenty of action, magic, and fascinating characters, both familiar and new, create another terrific urban fantasy from an established author.—KC
