The Wild Hunted

Debut author Flynn opens her Pandora Chronicles series with a lively contemporary fantasy that traces playful, globe-trotting characters charged with containing rampant supernatural creatures. After Pandora bursts out of her box in a museum and possesses a 10-year-old girl named Eve, monster hunter Haydeez Blackhawk is on the case. As part of Pandora’s complex plot to bring about the downfall of mankind, she awakens the werewolf Loup Garou, and convinces him to kill the Celtic horned god Cernunnous. Masquerading as human Gavin O’Connell, the werewolf gathers a pack of fellow shifters in Canada before travelling to England to confront the dormant god. Meanwhile, Haydeez enlists her sidekick Linx and the satyr Keeglian to track down the ancient artifacts that will awaken Cernunnous before Gavin can reach them. Flynn blends Celtic and Greek mythology, sophisticated mystery, capable characters, and humor into a unique, high-spirited romp. Readers will eagerly await the further adventures of Haydeez and Linx.
