BLURB:
It's no walk in the bloody park, being a Drood - one of the family who has protected ordinary humanity from the things that go bump in the night for centuries. We're not much liked - even by one another. Now our Matriarch is dead. Murdered. Maybe by one of us. Maybe not. It's been left up to me, Eddie Drood, to figure out whodunit.
That's not going to be easy. You see, opinion is divided evenly between two camps of thought: those who think the killer was Molly, my best girl, and those who think the killer was actually me. And I know for a fact that I didn't do it.

Blue Moon Rising - Simon R Green
Blue Moon Rising by Simon R Green
BLURB:
In those days, there were heroes and villians, and darkness walked the earth. There were dragons to be slain, captured princesses to be saved, and mighty deeds to be accomplished by knights in shining armor. Many tales are told of that time, tales of steadfast bravery and derring-do...

This is not one of them.
Rupert didn't especially want to be a prince. And he certainly never asked to be the second son of a royal line that really didn't need a spare. After all, a kingdom suffering from crippling financial loss couldn't very well afford to have different factions fighting over who was more worthy to rule as the next king. So Rupert was sent out ot slay a dragon and prove himself - a quest straight out of legend.
But Rupert also discovered the kinds of things legends tend to leave out, as well as the usual demons and goblins, a dreaded Night Witch... and even worse terrors hidden in the shadows of Darkwood.
Rupert did find a fiery dragon-and a beautiful princess to rescue too. But the dragon turned out to be a better friend than anyone back at the castle. And with the evil of Darkwood suddenly spreading its roots... and with the blue moon rising and the Wild Magic along with it, Rupert needed all the friends he could get...

The Man With the Golden Torc - Simon R. Green
The Man With the Golden Torc by Simon R. Green
Book 1 of the Secret History series
BLURB:
The name's Bond. Shaman Bond.
Actually, that's just my cover. I'm Eddie Drood. But when your job includes a license to kick supernatural arse on a regular basis, you find your laughs where you can.
For centuries, my family has been the secret guardian of humanity, all that stands between all of you and all of the really nasty things that go bump in the night. As a Drood field agent I wore the golden torc, killed monsters, and I protected the world. I loved my job.
Right up to the point when my own family declared me rogue for no reason, and I was forced to go on the run. Now the only people who can help me prove my innocence are the people I used to consider my enemies.
I'm Shaman Bond, very secret agent. And I'm going to prove to everyone that no one does it better than me.
