Publisher's Summary
No day is ordinary in a world where technology and magic compete for supremacy.... But no matter which force is winning, in the apocalypse, a sword will always work.
Hugh d'Ambray, Preceptor of the Iron Dogs, Warlord of the Builder of Towers, served only one man. Now his immortal, nearly omnipotent master has cast him aside. Hugh is a shadow of the warrior he was, but when he learns that the Iron Dogs, soldiers who would follow him anywhere, are being hunted down and murdered, he must make a choice: to fade away or to be the leader he was born to be. Hugh knows he must carve a new place for himself and his people, but they have no money, no shelter, and no food, and the necromancers are coming. Fast.
Elara Harper is a creature who should not exist. Her enemies call her Abomination; her people call her White Lady. Tasked with their protection, she's trapped between the magical heavyweights about to collide and plunge the state of Kentucky into a war that humans have no power to stop. Desperate to shield her people and their simple way of life, she would accept help from the devil himself - and Hugh d'Ambray might qualify.
Hugh needs a base; Elara needs soldiers. Both are infamous for betraying their allies, so how can they create a believable alliance to meet the challenge of their enemies?
As the prophet says, "It is better to marry than to burn".
Hugh and Elara may do both.

Ilona Andrews has done it again!
Full Disclaimer: I LOVE Ilona Andrews books. I own every single one of them. Literally.
That said, I was nervous about this one b/c, well, Hugh. He’s kinda a dick in the Kate Daniels universe... TBH I wasn’t sure even the master storyteller that is Andrews would be able to make me look at him in a positive light.
I will never be an unbeliever again- I swear it!!!
Hugh has this sort of roguish charm & wit that I love- especially because he is still certifiably bad. I also love the way that we literally see him pulling himself out of an existentialist crisis- credibly & with redeeming qualities- while still being certifiably bad.
And then we have Elara. She is another wonderfully strong, flawed, engaging, kick arse female lead who’s prepared to make the hard decisions & sacrifices for her people. She’s also got some juju happening scary enough to have the Iron Dogs giving her a jaundiced eye- but that clearly comes at a personal cost...
Soooo- release date for Book 2 is when, exactly..?

Redemption for the two main characters
Full of action, Hugh Dean Ray is far from a likeable character but the White Lady gives as good as she gets, it is read impeccably by Steve West,

Excellent.
So very good. Tight plot, authentic character development and world building. The narrator was spot on (except for Andrea's accent, which didnt make sense to me). Would love to read the next with Steve narrating.

Yet another great novel in Ilona fantasy world
Another great book by that master weaver Ilona Andrews. This brings together ideas from past books and miles them into a new fantasy. With two powerful people throw together in an uneasy partnership that well read the book and find out. You won't regret. It. The story is great and the narration excellent enjoy

Addictive listening
I LOVED reading Iron and Magic, it's such a wonderful storyline with great characters. Hard to believe after reading the Kate Daniels series that I would turn into a fan of Hugh d'Ambray, but here I am fangirling all over him. Elara is a fascinating character as well, I'm hoping the second book in this series releases sometime this year (please!!!)
I'm writing this review after a reread, realising I didn't leave a review the first time around. On this occasion, I listened to the audiobook for the first time. The narrator Steve West was fabulous - I enjoyed his performance so much that I got through this Audiobook in a day and a half as I just could not stop listening. He performs all the characters really well, and kept me 100% engaged through all of the audio.

Hugh ???!!!
Unexpectedly loved this book. For those that think they don’t want to change their minds about Hugh. Read it and see what you think. This was a reread for me actually loved the narration. Cannot wait for book two
