Death's Avatar (The Descent Series)
“They can be found in rural America, metropolitan Asia, and the empty plains of Africa. Of these thousand, eight hundred are in active service; four hundred or so have taken witches as their aspes.
Of those four hundred, only one has the number for Elise Kavanagh’s answering machine.

“It’s McIntyre. Call me.”
That was all he said.MoreLess
