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 after becoming the nanny to the daughter of a Chinese god. As she navigates her growing affection for John Chen, the pair must flee across continents to escape a relentless pursuit by demonic forces. The narrative, presented through a fast-paced lens, explores the intersection of modern life and ancient mythology where the boundaries between mortal and divine are increasingly blurred. Emma must adapt to a world where martial arts prowess and supernatural intervention are the only tools for survival against an enemy that operates from the shadows of both heaven and hell.
This work is characterized by its blend of traditional martial arts tropes and modern urban fantasy conventions. The narrative structure emphasizes the physical stakes of the conflict, focusing on the constant threat posed by demonic adversaries. Readers often note the author's commitment to building a world where ancient deities interact directly with human protagonists. The series is frequently cited for its unique approach to mythological integration within a contemporary framework, providing a distinct perspective on the genre.
