Synopsis

I'm John Taylor. I was born in the Nightside, that square mile in the hidden center of London where it is always the hour of the wolf, where gods and monsters walk side by side, and where every dark question ever asked can be answered—for a price.

I left for a while, but I did come back, to make my living doing what I do better than anyone else: finding things—lost or stolen, real or imaginary.

Recently, I found the most dangerous thing of all: the true identity of my long-gone mother. Turns out she's a being who's been around since before the dawn of history. Then, she created the Nightside—and now, for her own warped reasons, she intends to destroy it.

To stop her before she even gets started, I've got to do some hard traveling—back in Time, through endless eons, into the very distant—and probably deadly—past . . .

Goodreads review by Julie on December 20, 2016

To me it's always very interesting and very brave when an author creates a good character that does bad things to good people because he has to and he knows it. He can look someone in the eye, tell them that he's so very sorry, and then do something utterly horrible to them because it has to be that......more

And we are back! to the continuing adventures of captain Gary Stu. Honestly, I find it very amusing that i'm still reading these books. The main character is so terrible it's actually laughable. With the exception of Harry Dresden, I am hard pressed to find a more self important magical Gary Stu tha......more

Goodreads review by Chris on February 09, 2008

We're really getting into the meat of this story, and something tells me that I'm gonna have to order the most recent book at some point. John Taylor has a mission. In the last book, he was tasked with finding out how the Nightside got started, and his search revealed a secret that had long been hidd......more
