Summary

Since he became the guardian of the Gate between our world and Feirie 1600 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.

Just great

A fitting sequel to Black City Saint. Great story, and as usual the narration by Joshua Saxon is world class. I'd listen to almost any book he narrated. Fortunately he seems to only choose good ones!

Great story but ...

This is so well written and so well narrated, the story is a fascinating one, of Saint George and the Dragon whom he slayed long, long ago, unfortunately, the Dragon was guardian to the world of the fae, so this caused a bit of a problem and poor old Nick Medea aka Saint George ended up being melded with the Dragon in a curse to make him/them guardian of the gate.

It should have enthralled me but I just can't get into it, I feel that my mind is not in the right place to listen to this story with my full attention, curse of lockdown I think, so I am probably going to come back to it once the pain in my neck is fixed, my hair has been cut, I've picked my own food in a real life store and my dog has forgiven me for all those excess walks. Meanwhile, I'll go back to grumpy Scottish crime novels (I can relate to those right now) .

I was lucky enough to have recieved a free review copy in exchange for an honest review, I have listened and reviewed but I don't feel that I've done the book justice so I may be back to edit one day.
