I have posted the back cover copy for Widow’s Web, the seventh book in my Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series.
There are no big spoilers here, but if you absolutely don’t want to know what the book is about before you read Thread of Death (since the e-novella hints at a few things in Widow’s Web) or By a Thread (the sixth book), you may want to skip this post.
Here’s the description:
I used to murder people for money, but these days it’s more of a survival technique.
Once an assassin, always an assassin. So much for being plain old Gin Blanco. With every lowlife in Ashland gunning for me, I don’t need another problem, but a new one has come to town. Salina might seem like a sweet Southern belle, but she’s really a dangerous enemy whose water elemental magic can go head-to-head with my own Ice and Stone power. Salina also has an intimate history with my lover, Owen Grayson, and now that she’s back in town, she thinks he’s hers for the taking. Salina’s playing a mysterious game that involves a shady local casino owner with a surprising connection to Owen. But they call me the Spider for a reason. I’m going to untangle her deadly scheme, even if it leaves my love affair hanging by a thread.
Basically, this story will delve into Owen’s past, and readers will learn what Owen was up to while he was living on the streets of Ashland with his baby sister, Eva. You can also read the first chapter of Widow’s Web, if you wish. Again, if you absolutely don’t want to be spoiled, you may want to skip reading the chapter.
I’ve seen the cover art, which is awesome as usual. I can’t share the cover just yet, but the predominant color is blue this time, and Gin is seen with a weapon that is not one of her silverstone knives. Is that enough of a teaser for you guys? 😉
Widow’s Web will be out on Aug. 21. Technically, it’s a September book, but instead of releasing the book the last Tuesday before the first of the month like usual, my publisher decided to bump it up a week to Aug. 21. Widow’s Web is up for pre-order at Amazon, and I imagine it will be up for pre-order sometime soon at Barnes & Noble. I’ll post more information as it becomes available.
