Festival of Souls: a Jen Rice novel

Enormous black-armored knights rampage across town, killing everything in their wake. Their cruel mounts and hellish hounds cause almost as much chaos as the knights themselves. Jen Rice and her friends are helpless to stop as the demonic creatures run rampant through town, killing anyone who gets too close.

A rash of high-end thefts has the police department running in circles. Jen is contacted by the thief, who asks her for help. His daughter has been kidnapped by demons and Jen is the only one he knows he can trust - not only to believe him but to save his daughter.

Jen knows that there is a pattern, one that will lead to nothing but pain and anguish... possibly more than even she can handle. The Festival of Souls is supposed to be a celebration of the spirits. This year, the Festival marks the beginning of the end.

This year, not everyone will come home.

After life growing up in the beautifully rainy Pacific Northwest, Shanon L. Mayer tends to keep indoors, writing story after story, building vivid worlds on paper while her thoughts hold everything but images. She tends to look at everything in her world for inspiration - especially her collections of skulls, dragon statues, swords and knives, and pretty much anything that fits her eclectic, geeky-gothic lifestyle. When her busy life feels like too much, she can be found relaxing with a hot mug of tea and a documentary on anything from theoretical physics to deep ocean wildlife to the most famous heists the world has ever seen.
