The Turn: The Hollows Begins with Death

Description

#1 New York Times bestselling writer Kim Harrison returns to her beloved Hollows series with The Turn—the official prequel to the series so that it will introduce you to a complete new side of Rachel Morgan’s world, featuring Harrison’s signature “spellbinding blend of sharp wit and vivid imagination” (Kelley Armstrong, New York Times bestselling writer).

Can science save us when all else fails?

Trisk and her hated rival, Kal, have the same goal: save their species from extinction.

But death comes in the guise of hope when a genetically modified tomato created to feed the world combines with the government’s new tactical virus, giving it an unexpected host and a mode of transport. Plague rises, giving the paranormal species the choice to stay hidden and make allowance humanity to die, or to show themselves in a bid to save the human race.

Under accusations of scientific misconduct, Trisk and Kal flee across a pandemic-torn United States to convince leaders of the major paranormal species to save their supposedly weaker kin. Not everyone thinks humanity should be saved, though, and Trisk should fight the prejudices of two societies to prove not only that humanity does have something to provide but also that long-accepted beliefs against women, dark magic, and humanity itself can turn to understanding; that when individuals are at their worst, the most productive show their true strength; and that love can hold the world together as a new balance is found.
