A Favor for a Fiend - Paperback

by Kelly a. Harmon (Author)

Assumpta Mary-Margaret O'Connor's demon mark makes her fair game for any passing demon-and an attractive bargaining chip in the political alliances of Hell. Both courted-and stalked-by demons, she realizes she'll never have peace until she rids herself of the demon's mark. With the aid of her pendulum and the help of Brona Daly-resident ghost of Baltimore's Enoch Pratt Library- Assumpta discovers the one sure-fire way to get rid of the mark: make a deal with the demon who marked her. While Assumpta prepares for battle, Jak-the spirit she rescued from a demonic urn-rejoins her, bringing aid in the form of five Roman legionnaires and Saint Michael, the Archangel. Even with ghostly, and Heavenly help, can Assumpta preserve her life-and her soul-when she goes to Hell to challenge the demon who marked her?

Author Biography

Kelly A. Harmon was born on the Baltimore Beltway at 120 miles-per-hour in the front seat of a Ford Mustang. In the wee hours of the morning, with rising humidity swamping the day, she took her first breath of H&S-baked bread, the tang of salt air coming off the harbor and the scent of Old Bay wafting from McCormick's. Baltimore was in her blood then, as it is now. In the intervening years, she's lived all over Maryland, written for local newspapers and beyond, and come home to Baltimore to write her Charm City Darkness series. When the voices in her head leave her alone, she can be found haunting Enoch Pratt Library, roaming around Canton, or stopping by the Westminster Burying Grounds for a one-sided chat with Edgar Allan Poe.
