John held out his mug. Caleb topped him off with what he’d promised would be stronger this time. He’d lied.
John took a sip and made a face. “Do you honestly call this coffee?”
“Do you honestly still have a stomach lining?”
John started to reply when Caleb held up a hand.“Wait.” He pulled a jar and a spoon out of the battered metal cabinet.
And proceeded to add a heaping mound of instant coffee on top of the sudsy water.
John just looked at him.
He added another spoonful.
John waited patiently.
Caleb sat the jar down on the desk and made a be-my-guest gesture.
John obliged. And finally managed to come up with something that was still swill, but was at least swill with a punch.
“I’m going to pretend I didn’t see that,” Caleb muttered, and gathered up his now sadly depleted stash.

Ce tome est dédié à la bataille magique qui a lieu à Hong Kong en parallèle avec celle de Dori dans Dragon's Claw mais cette fois revisitée par les yeux de Pritkin qui retrouve ses souvenirs . La talentueuse Karen Chance nous entraine dans une aventure bourrée d'action , de combats , de rencontres et d'aides improbables, et c'est souvent hilarant . Un très bon livre .

Résumé
War mages are the magical equivalent of tanks: tough, powerful, and deadly. They have to be, in order to defend the supernatural community from the dangerous threats it sometimes faces. But what happens when the threat is them?
John Pritkin has been trying to recover from a demon curse that separated his body and soul and almost killed him. The reunification has left him with a flood of memories to process, some that he recalls from his past and some that he doesn’t, as well as wonky magic, fluctuating power levels, and a splitting headache. Something that only intensifies when he finds himself stuck in a city under siege—by his fellow war mages.
As the only one not overwhelmed by a massive enthrallment spell, John must find a way to free his fellow mages before they destroy themselves, and take a city of a million people along with them.
