Do you have a name? she queried politely. "Caliginous," he told her. "You may call me Cal. Or Calin." Her lips pursed. "Cal. Calin. Caliginous. As in dark, misty," she mused. "...also opaque. Difficult to understand." "Indeed." The creature smiled. Alexis is hard-wired to fight, to protect, to hunt anything that might pose a threat for her world. Gods, monsters, demons, vampires, inter-dimensional bad guys - Alexis deals with them all. And yeah, it makes her an oddball. Being the rich owner of a chain of sex clubs doesn't help as much as you might think. Her best friends, a werewolf and a half-fae, think she needs to have more fun, maybe even date a little... but Alexis is looking for someone who can match her, and given her gifts, that's not as easy as it sounds. Then Caliginous appears. One of the mysterious race of beings known as "Travelers," he proves more challenging than most. Alexis might have finally met her match, in more ways than one. Unfortunately, he's come to tell her it might be the end of the world. Someone is murdering Lightbringers. The portals are all opening. Dark forces are overwhelming the gates. The Traveler, Cal, claims he's there to help her. But Cal isn't an ordinary Traveler, and he clearly has an agenda of his own. * Enemies to lovers. Found family. Hidden worlds. Strong heroine. Some crossover with the Angels in L.A. series / world. LIGHTBRINGER is Book #1 in a unique urban fantasy series by USA TODAY and WALL STREET JOURNAL bestselling author, JC Andrijeski. For fans of urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and supernatural suspense.
A mysterious being known as Caliginous arrives to warn Alexis, a powerful but solitary hunter of supernatural threats, that the end of the world is imminent due to the murder of Lightbringers and the opening of inter-dimensional portals. Alexis, accustomed to dealing with gods, monsters, and demons, finds Caliginous to be a formidable challenge, potentially her match in more ways than one. However, Caliginous, a Traveler with his own agenda, claims to be there to help her, despite the dark forces overwhelming the gates and the increasing danger to her world. The narrative framework appears to be third-person, focusing on Alexis's perspective as she navigates this escalating crisis and her complex relationship with Cal.
The premise sets up a classic urban fantasy narrative with a strong female lead and an enemies-to-lovers dynamic, suggesting a fast-paced plot filled with supernatural action and romantic tension. The inclusion of diverse mythical and demonic elements, alongside the hint of a shared universe with other series, indicates a rich world-building effort. The author's status as a USA TODAY and WALL STREET JOURNAL bestselling author suggests a proven track record with this genre and audience. The blend of supernatural suspense and paranormal romance points to a target readership that enjoys both thrilling conflicts and developing character relationships.
