关于此电子书

A deadly disease outbreak intensifies the war between humans and monsters in this gripping dark fantasy from the New York Times–bestselling “master of drip-feeding horror and suspense” (The Guardian)

There exists a secret and highly illegal trade in mythological creatures and their artifacts. Certain individuals pay fortunes for a sliver of a satyr’s hoof, a gryphon’s claw, a basilisk’s scale, or an angel’s wing. Embroiled in the hidden world of the Relics, creatures known as the Kin, Angela Gough is now on the run in the United States.

Forty years ago, the town of Longford was the site of a deadly disease outbreak that wiped out the entire population. The infection was contained, the town isolated, and the valley in which it sits flooded and turned into a reservoir. The truth—that the outbreak was intentional, and not every resident of Longford died—disappeared beneath the waves.

Now the town is revealed again. The Kin have an interest in the ruins, and soon the fairy Grace and the Nephilim leader, Mallian, are also drawn to them. When the infection rises from beneath silent waters this forgotten town becomes the focus of the looming battle between humankind and the Kin.
