Christopher Marlowe leaves Hell where he has lived for many years as Lucifer's lover, and travels to New York in the company of Whiskey, the Kelpie, a spirit of the sea who is both black and white, and both a horse and a man.

From official release/information: Book Description: Several years ago, Matthew the Magician ended an age-old war. It only cost him everything-and everyone-he knew and loved.

So when he finds a young woman brutally murdered by a Fae creature, he must bring her killer to justice before Jane uses the crime to justify more war-and before he confronts an even larger threat in the greatest Adversary of all...
