    About this audiobook

    Witches are disappearing all over New York, and Ace Dante couldn't care less-until one holds his friend at gunpoint, demanding Ace take the job.

    The witch produces a girl's severed arm, bearing an unusual hieroglyph, and Ace starts to care a whole lot more. He recognizes that mark. It's connected to Ace in ways he doesn't yet understand. Why is it on a dead witch's arm?

    Missing witches and severed arms aren't Ace's only problems. With a new name around his neck-Godkiller-Ace has a promise to uphold. He has three days to kill the god Thoth-or risk Osiris's wrath. The last time Ace defied Osiris, he earned a curse that crippled his life and turned him into Osiris's puppet for eternity.

    This time, Osiris won't be as lenient. Ace must kill Thoth. An impossible task. It takes a god to kill a god, and Ace is just a washed-up mercenary. Isn't he?

    As the spells are cast and the truth is revealed, there's only one way out. Ace must become the monster the gods fear him to be.

      Witch's Bane by Pippa DaCosta continues Ace's story but now he has even more trouble. He never did kill that god, Though, that the sadistic Osiris wanted him to. Osiris is very powerful and will make death seem like a good thing if Ace doesn't do as promised. Although he will probably die trying.Someone is also killing witches and Ace gets wrapped up in helping find out who is doing this!
