Obsidian Son by Shayne Silvers

Obsidian Son by Shayne Silvers

A city that doesn't believe in magic. Bloodthirsty weredragons. Good thing this reckless playboy has superpowers.

Nate Temple has authority issues. As a reckless playboy living the lifestyle only a billionaire heir could, he easily earns the hatred and envy of everyone in St. Louis - especially the monsters. But that tends to happen when you're also secretly a wizard... and your idea of fun is cow-tipping the reformed Buddhist Minotaur, asking too many questions, and instinctively thumbing your nose at anyone more powerful than you.

Shape-shifting dragons are dead set on taking over his city. Nate, never one to back down from an impossible fight, joins his closet-werewolf, FBI Agent friend, to stake a flag under the St. Louis Arch, declaring it immune to a reptile dysfunction.

But dragons begin to crawl out of the stonework, hungry for a fire-roasted wizard and werewolf kabob. Temple finds his magical anonymity challenged by the journalistic efforts of the five o'clock news.

Nate must learn the truth of a stunning betrayal that leads all the way back to his parents' murder if he hopes to save everyone he cares about. But not before he wraps up a little bit of dragon hunting.

Obsidian Son is the first installment in the Nate Temple series of Supernatural Thrillers, and is said by readers to be a fine addition to the shelves beside the Greats themselves: Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, and Patrick Rothfuss.

Shayne Silvers is a guy of mystery and might, with only his mystery surpassing his power. To put it another way, a storyteller. He is now working on the Nate Temple Supernatural Thriller Series, in which a foul-mouthed young magician with a chip on his shoulder tries to protect St. Louis from the different nasties from our childhood bedtime stories that we all know and fear. To make his point, Nate has been known to suckerpunch an Angel, cow-tip the Minotaur, and steal Death's steed.

You'll be laughing and cringing on the edge of your seat as he shows complete contempt for repercussions and self-preservation. Shayne has two black belts and enjoys talking about all things Marvel, Magical, and Mythological. You might find him cackling madly at his computer screen while pounding shots of espresso in a coffee shop near you.
