Bruxa de Elite

by Kim Harrison

Overview

As coisas maléficas que assombram as noites de Cincinnati desprezam a bruxa e caçadora de recompensas Rachel Morgan. A sua reputação de praticante de magia negra começa a fazer virar as cabeças de humanos e mortos-vivos, determinados a possuí-la, dormir com ela e matá-la... não necessariamente por essa ordem. E como se tudo isso não bastasse, um amante mortal que abandonara Rachel regressou, assombrado pelo seu passado secreto. E há quem queira deitar as mãos a algo que se encontra na poss dele: animais selvagens dispostos a destruir Hollows e todos os seus habitantes, se necessário. Obrigada a manter-se escondida ou a sofrer para sempre a ira de um demónio vingativo, Rachel deve, ainda assim, agir rapidamente. Pois pela primeira vez, em vários milénios, matilhas de estranhas criaturas estão a unir-se, preparadas para destruir e dominar. De súbito, há algo mais em jogo do que a alma de Rachel.

About the Author

Bestselling paranormal fantasy author Kim Harrison went all the way through school with nary a thought of becoming a writer. A biology major in college, she took only the required English courses needed to graduate. So when the writing bug hit her later in life, she found herself at a real disadvantage with grammar, spelling, and other basic weapons in the scribbler's arsenal. However, her love of books was her saving grace. Always a voracious reader, Harrison instinctively recognized the role of plot, pacing, and character development in good storytelling. She set about writing with great enthusiasm and plugged away for the better part of decade, until she was able to bring her skills up to par.

Harrison's debut novel grew out of frustration with a growing pile of rejection notices. In an attempt to get publishers' attention, she set out to craft something deliberately weird and edgy. She conceived a motley cast of vampires, werewolves, pixies, and witches, including a sexy bounty hunter named Rachel Morgan, and threw them together in a short story. Then, her agent introduced her to editor Diana Gill, and together they refined and expanded Harrison's idea into a full length novel.

Published in 2004, Dead Witch Walking became a bestseller, launched a blockbuster series, and catapulted Harrison into a pantheon of paranormal superstars that includes Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, Christine Feehan, and Sherrilyn Kenyon. As if to validate her inclusion in these ranks, Harrison's stories have also been included in several bestselling paranormal collections.
