The demon threat closes around mortals and gods alike… When Emma became nanny to John Chen's daughter, she never expected to be caring for the child of a Chinese god, or that all the demons in hell would want him dead.Now she’s in love with John, and they are hunted from China to Europe by a race of demons. But who are the real pawns in this deadly celestial game?Kylie Chan's Dark Heavens trilogy is the most exciting Urban Fantasy debut of 2010. Already a smash-hit in the author's native Australia it brings a world of Oriental Gods, martial arts action and romance to the genre.
Emma Donahoe finds herself caught in a lethal celestial conflict as she protects the daughter of a Chinese god from relentless demonic forces. After falling in love with John Chen, a powerful deity, Emma must navigate a world where the boundaries between mortal life and ancient mythology dissolve. The couple faces constant pursuit across international borders, forcing them to confront both physical threats and the complex political machinations of the heavens. The narrative maintains a fast-paced, third-person perspective that emphasizes the high stakes of their survival against an encroaching demonic tide.
This work is characterized by its fusion of traditional Eastern mythological archetypes with the conventions of modern urban fantasy. The narrative structure relies heavily on the juxtaposition of mundane daily life and high-stakes supernatural conflict to maintain reader engagement. Its pacing suggests a focus on kinetic action sequences and the development of the central romantic relationship amidst external pressure. The thematic threads point toward an exploration of loyalty and the personal cost of involvement in divine affairs, framed within a globalized adventure context.
