I was hooked from the moment I started reading! I felt like I was there in a grimey london alley. Shaw writes with an effortless swagger, charming yet filthy with gritty realism. A living breathing world with interesting characters and tantalizing mysteries, I cannot wait to see where this goes and will be sure to check out any other works by this author. Easily my favourite up and coming writer. Do yourself a favor and have a read - you won't regret it!

Really great read!! Very dark and visceral with lots of links to historically accurate events and artefacts. The cigar brand is an awesome choice! Very interesting backdrop. Feels like a promising novel. Looking forward to the story that follows! 10/10, would read again.

So far so good! Superb sentence structure and flow, very immersive descriptions and obviously written by someone who's done their historical research properly. The author's strong sense of detail is a strength as it pulls the reader into 1800's London and doesn't let go. The first two chapters read a bit slow, but things really picked up from Chapter 3. The story continues to be engaging and the characters vibrantly alive. Good job!

In a world where summoners wield the power to call forth vampires, elves, angels, demons, and all humanoid creatures from across the realms, Nathan found himself unable to summon beings except from beasts.  However, those beasts are not ordinary beasts. They are divine beings who once stood at the same level, if not higher, than the legendary creatures the world ever knew.  Casting his gaze to the left, Nathan sees numerous summoners accompanied by the likes of demon kings, archangels, vampire progenitors, and other legendary beings. Turning to the right, a massive army of alien symbiotes is waiting to attack.  There was no fear in his eyes, because standing on his left is a majestic wolf who managed to kill a god, the legendary eight-headed serpent coils on his right, above him is the bird who is glowing like the sun, and behind him is a dragon that once gnawed the roots of the world tree.  “Let the war begin.”
