And then there's the enigmatic Magnus Wellsby. He's a man who drives Jack crazy. What is it with him? Love? Hate? Lust? Battling two competing evil forces trying to take over her city should keep her mind off him yet Magnus is always there driving her crazy.
Death, zombie guts, too many lovers and not enough love. No wonder a woman has to carry an axe.
