Or The Resurrection of Matthew Swift
by Kate Griffin
For Matthew Swift, today is not like any other day. It is the day on which he returns to life.
Two years after his untimely death, Matthew Swift finds himself breathing once again, lying in bed in his London home.
Except that it's no longer his bed, or his home. And the last time this sorcerer was seen alive, an unknown assailant had gouged a hole so deep in his chest that his death was irrefutable...despite his body never being found.
He doesn't have long to mull over his resurrection though, or the changes that have been wrought upon him. His only concern now is vengeance. Vengeance upon his monstrous killer and vengeance upon the one who brought him back.
"Griffin's lush prose and chatty dialogue...create a wonderful ambiance but often diffuse the tension, leaving readers to make their own way through the uncomplicated plot." - Publishers Weekly.
"She writes with assurance and polish, and her grasp of modern mythology - the magic and the poetry inherent in contemporary life - is strong. A very promising start, and great things seem likely to follow. " - Kirkus Reviews
