About the book

From the internationally bestselling author of The Atlas Six, Masters of Death is a queer, page-turning fantasy bursting with Olivie Blake's signature sharp wit, stunning prose and unforgettable characters.

'Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent' - Chloe Gong, author of These Violent Delights

This book is about an estate agent. Only she's a vampire, the house on sale is haunted, and its ghost was murdered.

When Viola Marek hires Fox D'Mora to deal with a ghost-infested mansion, she expects a competent medium. But unbeknownst to Viola, Fox is not a medium at all. He's a fraud - and the godson of Death.

As the mystery of the mansion unfolds, Viola and Fox are drawn into an unlikely quest that neither wants nor expects. They'll need the help of a demonic personal trainer, a steadfast reaper, and an angel with her own secrets. It transpires that an inconvenient dead body and a lost love are intrinsically linked. Can this coalition of unwilling allies solve this conundrum and un-haunt a house - by winning a devious immortal game?

This edition features beautiful interior illustrations from Little Chmura.

'A meditation on romance and mortality, with the most satisfying ending imaginable' - SFX

    3,75-4 ⭐ Liebe die Atmosphäre. Liebe die Charaktere und den super trockenen Humor. Nicht besonders stark im Plot aber das erwarte ich bei einem olivie Blake auch nicht mehr 😅 Leider sehr viele, sehr verwirrende Zeit Sprünge. Kein richtiger roter Faden was Handlung angeht. Wenn ihr darüber hinweg sehen könnt und bekannt mit Olivie Blakes Schreibstil seid, absolut empfehlenswert.

    „To live, to love; it was always a choice, and inherently a brave one, to face down certain doom with open arms.“

    Ich habe nicht gewusst, was mich erwartet, als ich das Buch gekauft habe. Besser ist, du weißt es auch nicht. Beautiful.

    This isn't fantasy. This is philosophy by means of fantastical elements. A complex as well as easy read. Funny and fun and deeply sad and weird and wonderful.
