Raising Fire
By James BennettPublisher Description
Ben Garston has broken the Lore. Now it's time to face the music.
Life isn't treating Red Ben well. He's lost everything he held dear, including the love of his life. Still, at least he escaped the clutches of a malevolent spirit bent on total destruction. So there is that.
Now Ben just wants to drink, and forget, and drink some more. But he can't. Not yet.
Because someone is stirring up trouble. Someone who wants to unleash a powerful ancient magic that could bring the realm of mythology crashing into the modern world.
If Ben fails to stop them, the world will burn -- and that's the last thing he needs on his conscience.
Fans of Ben Aaronovitch and Jim Butcher will revel in this fiery tale of magic, mayhem and modern-day mythology.
"A superior piece of magical myth-making." -- SFFWorld on Chasing Embers

“A bridging novel Many years ago man and the magical creatures that share the world came to a pact, that a select group would stay on earth and the rest would sleep. Most of humanity has forgotten and the magical creatures hide out. Ben Garston is one of those magical creatures, a dragon and really all he wants to do is drink and forget the past and the girlfriend he had to leave but no, the folks who enforce the pact have plans and one of them includes killing him.He has to work with other magical creatures who have their own agenda. The fate of the world is in their hands but how to save it is a problem.
It's interesting with modern world and mythology clashing and characters trying to do their own thing. It's also a bridging novel so I think a lot of it is involved in setting up what will come. Interesting but needs the prequel.”
