I was in hell.
No, that wasn’t right. I’d been to hell, and it was better. Like, by a lot.
And that was before Pritkin started to swear.
John Pritkin was an irascible war mage, the magical equivalent of a platoon, with a mouth that would make a sailor blush—and that was on a good day. This was not a good day. His usually spiky blond hair was extra spiky from the cold, frozen into pointy tips that looked like they’d stab you if you got too close. His expression matched them when he turned around to look at me out of furious green eyes.
“What?” I said.
“You didn’t mention them!” he accused, from the high perch of the coachman’s seat.
“Them? Them who?”
I leaned forward, but couldn’t see anything from here. I also couldn’t hear, with another icy blast howling down the cavernous riverbed far below and whipping by our coach, which was barely clinging to a narrow bridge as it was. Pritkin swore some more, this time at the horses, who bucked and caused us to rock alarmingly. I was treated to a brief, dizzying view over the railless side of the bridge: rushing water studded with shards of ice, snow- covered rocks sparkling in weak winter sunlight, dead looking trees stretching their skeletal limbs skyward as if grabbing for us, trying to stab, to drag us down, to—
And then we righted again, with a thud and a shake, and I bit my tongue hard enough to taste blood.
At least I didn’t scream, I thought, clutching the door. Six months ago,
I would have been screaming my head off, and flailing my way out of the open carriage we were in despite it being freeze-your-ass-off degreesoutside. And slip sliding my way back down the icy bridge, hoping that none of the finely dressed monsters in the carriages behind me were hungry.

On retrouve Cassie dans ses aventures en combattants Fey et anciens Dieux.
Le livre Ignite the Fire est en deux tomes et je vous conseille vivement d'avoir le second Inferno sous la main avant de finir celui-ci.
Ayant lu le premier chapitre du tome suivant je dirais juste que le début du second tome est presque plus étrange que la fin du premier.
A lire pour passer un bon momeent

Il s'agit du onzième roman de Cassie Palmer, après Shatter the Earth.
C'est la première partie d'un roman en deux tomes car l'histoire était trop longue pour un seul livre.
Il continue dans Ignite the Fire: Inferno.

Résumé
Cassie Palmer is the Pythia, chief seer of the supernatural world. John Pritkin is a half demon and a legendary war mage. Mircea Basarab is a first-level master vampire and the general of the World Vampire Senate. Each is formidable enough alone. But they discovered recently that, together, they are far more than the sum of their parts. With their power combined through a perilous spell, they are the closest thing left on Earth to one of the ancient gods.
That comes in handy considering that the old gods are exactly what the supernatural community is currently fighting. But now, one member of their triumvirate is missing. Mircea Basarab has left Earth for Faerie, alone and unaccompanied, on a personal mission five hundred years in the making. If Cassie and Pritkin cannot retrieve their third, their only real advantage in the war is gone, and Earth is likely lost. Yet Faerie holds unimaginable dangers, and the last time they were there, they almost died. This time, there might be something even worse than death lying in wait.
