The Shape Stealer by Lee Carroll (Bantam £8.99 – out this week) is
the final volume in the urban fantasy trilogy that began with Black Swan Rising:
“Garet James is the watchtower
– the last in a long line of powerful women sworn to protect our world from
evil. She once defeated the malign sorcerer Dr Dee, but her pursuit of the man
she loves – the centuries-old vampire Will Hughes – has unleashed another
ages-old entity into our time – a being that threatens everything and everyone.
His name is Marduk and he is
the descendant of a demonic Babylonian deity. Now abroad in Paris, he has
sought out the villainous John Dee and they have hatched a plan together that
will create chaos and ensure ruin. And it will fall to Garet to confront this
new threat. Around her she gathers a band of modern-day knights – a brotherhood
dedicated to preserving the sanctity of the time-line. But there are others out
there who would see Garet fail and who will stop at nothing to bring an end to
everything she – and we – hold dear...”
