Secret Histories
by Ace
New York Times bestselling author Simon Green introduces a new kind of hero, one who fights the good fight against some very old foes in the first novel in the Secret Histories series.
The name’s Bond. Shaman Bond. Actually, that's just his cover. His real name is Eddie Drood, but when your job includes a license to kick supernatural arse on a regular basis, you find your laughs where you can.
For centuries, his family has been the secret guardian of Humanity, all that stands between all of you and all of the really nasty things that go bump in the night. As a Drood field agent he wore the golden torc, he killed monsters, and he protected the world. He loved his job.
Right up to the point where his own family declared him rogue for no reason. Now, the only people who can help Eddie prove his innocence are the people he used to consider his enemies...“[Green] combines…imagination with non-stop action adventure and a dash of romance.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris
“Green launches another strong contemporary fantasy series…Fans of high-speed urban fantasy with a smart-aleck hero, fighting impossible odds, are sure to enjoy it.”—SF Revu
“Packed with enough humor, action, and plot twists to satisfy fans who prefer their adventure shaken, not stirred.”—Publishers Weekly
“The author of the Deathstalker and Nightside series’ introduces a hard-boiled, fast-talking, druidic James Bond who wields ancient magic instead of a gun…[A] witty fantasy adventure.”—Library Journal
