Shadows Bite

Mage Magistrale was once just a freelance photographer, but for the past two years he's been a man on a mission. He did a favor for a young woman, and in return she gave him a magical focus object that responds to his command - the key to anything and everything his heart could desire. But the woman had stolen this object from a powerful Japanese-American mobster, and though Mage killed the man in a fair fight, his daughter wants revenge.

Stephen Dedman is the author of the novels Foreign Bodies and The Art of Arrow Cutting. The latter was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award for Best First Horror Novel. His award-nominated short fiction has appeared in most major genre magazines, including The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Asimov's, and SF Age, as well as such highly regarded anthologies as Little Deaths, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, Dreaming Down Under, and Centaurus. A collection of his short work, The Lady of Circumstances, was published in 1999. He lives in Perth, Australia, and is currently working on a third novel of magic noir.
