The author of the best-selling Chronicles
of the Necromancer, Gail Z. Martin, is returning to Solaris with an
exciting and brand new urban fantasy series.
Deadly Curiosities is the lead
Solaris fantasy title for summer 2014, and a exceptional return to the imprint
for Martin, author of the perennially best-selling The Summoner. One of the world’s leading female authors of fantasy,
Martin will be sure to pick up new readers with this urban fantasy tale of the
American South.
Welcome to Trifles & Folly, an antique and curio shop with a dark
secret. Proprietor Cassidy Kincaide continues a family tradition begun in 1670
– acquiring and neutralizing dangerous supernatural items. It’s the perfect job
for Cassidy, whose psychic gift lets her touch an object and know its history.
Together with her business partner Sorren, a 500-year-old vampire and
former jewel thief, Cassidy makes it her business to get infernal objects off
the market. When mundane antiques suddenly become magically malicious, it’s
time for Cassidy and Sorren to get rid of these Deadly Curiosities before the
bodies start piling up.
