N.P. MARTIN

"N.P. Martin is a man who knows how to write a kick-ass novel. His stories are replete with tension-filled dialogue and gripping action scenes that ring true to the way real violence goes down. Pair that with the authentic Hibernian mystique that only a son of the Emerald Isle can deliver in prose, and you have a recipe for rip-roaring contemporary fantasy fiction."- M.D. Massey - Bestselling author of the Junkyard Druid Series

"When I pick up a book by N.P. Martin, I know just what I'm in store for - a well-crafted story with a flawed hero fighting to survive in a dark and dangerous world. These fast-paced, action-packed, never-a-dull-moment urban fantasy adventures are full of heroes you hate to love, villains you love to hate, and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing to the very end. Heartily recommended!"- New York Times bestseller Joseph Nassise
