Publisher's Summary

For more than 1600 years, Nick Medea has followed and guarded the Gate that keeps the mortal realm and that of Feirie separate, seeking in vain absolution for the fatal errors he made when he slew the dragon. 

All that while, he has tried and failed to keep the woman he loves from dying over and over. Yet in the 50 years since the night the dragon breathed over the city of Chicago, the Gate has not only remained fixed, but open to the trespasses of the Wyld, the darkest of the Feiriefolk. 

Not only does that mean an evil resurrected from Nick’s own past but also the reincarnation of his lost Cleolinda, a reincarnation destined once more to die. Nick must turn inward to that which he distrusts the most: the dragon...the beast he slew when he was still only Saint George. He must turn to the monster residing in him, now a part of him but ever seeking escape. 

The gang war brewing between Prohibition bootleggers may be the least of his concerns. If Nick cannot prevent an old evil from opening the way between realms, then not only might Chicago face a fate worse than the Great Fire, but so will the rest of the mortal realm.

Awesome tale!

This is a great book, that is very well read.

This is the epic story of Saint George, now going by the name of Nick Medea, as he guards the gate between the mortal world and the fairy realm in prohibition era Chicago. Aided by a small group of allies, some more trustworthy than others, the hero does his best to combat the convoluted machinations of the manipulative fairy elite.

Each of the characters, from the humble Saint to his lady love to the antagonist, are one and all distinctive people, or entities in some cases. Virtues are juxtaposed by flaws creating individuals that feel very real despite this being "urban fantasy".

This is an entertaining story crafted by Knaak, and Saxon’s reading was masterful, a true delight.

Very highly recommended.
