Fire Season
The fourth book of this dark urban fantasy series follows necromancer Eric Carter through a world of vengeful gods and goddesses, mysterious murders, and restless ghosts.
Los Angeles is burning.
During one of the hottest summers the city has ever seen, someone is murdering mages with fires that burn when they shouldn't, that don't stop when they should. Necromancer Eric Carter is being framed for the killings and hunted by his own people.
To Carter, everything points to the god Quetzalcoatl coming after him, after he defied the mad wind god in the Aztec land of the dead. But too many things aren't adding up, and Carter knows there's more going on.
If he doesn't figure out what it is and put a stop to it fast, Quetzalcoatl won't just kill him, he'll burn the whole damn city down with him.

Stephen Blackmoore
Stephen Blackmoore’s writing brims with gritty realism and a razor-sharp wit, taking readers on wild, unpredictable journeys through worlds where the supernatural collides with the very human struggle for survival. Best known for his Eric Carter series, which blends dark urban fantasy with noir, Blackmoore’s work is a cocktail of magic, crime, and redemption served with a healthy dose of sarcasm.
Growing up in California, Blackmoore was always drawn to the darker side of storytelling, where the shadows hold secrets and even the heroes have a lot to hide. His journey as a writer started early, crafting stories that combined his love for the fantastic with a fascination for the complexities of flawed characters. It’s this tension between light and dark that defines his approach to writing—his characters are always navigating the messiness of life, trying to do the right thing even if it costs them everything.
