"The Palladium breathes new life into a familiar premise, thanks to Thorsten Brandl's wicked imagination. A page turning fantasy... highly recommended for lovers of urban fantasy. It's a blast." - Readers' Favorite"A fast-paced fantasy thriller... the author is skilled at mystifying and setting up cliffhangers at the end of each chapter, making this book hard to put down.
