title: A Rush of Wings: Book One of The Maker's Song
author:  Adrian Phoenix 
description: Set in the brooding New Orleans area long established as the best location for all things vampiric, Phoenix's lively debut has it all: Rogue [FBI] agents, Bureau-ordered hits, mad-scientist experiments in psychopathology, vampires and fallen angels and a slicing-dicing serial killer. Smart, sexy FBI Special Agent Heather Wallace has been trying to catch the Cross-Country Killer for three years when the trail leads to New Orleans and Club Hell, where Dante Prejean performs with the Inferno, an industrial/goth rock band. Dante is a Cajun and a born vampire whose memories of his terrible past have been erased, leaving him vulnerable to the psychopathic killer, E, who knows all that Dante has forgotten. As E begins targeting Dante's loved ones, Heather must swallow her skepticism and work with Dante's vampiric friends and family to save him. Phoenix alternates romantic homages to gothdom and steamy blood-drinking threesomes with enough terse, fast-paced thriller scenes to satisfy even the most jaded fan. <i>(Jan.)</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  ###### Praise for Adrian Phoenix and  
   _A Rush of Wings_
  
  
  “Phoenix slings the reader into an intense world of dizzying passion,
  tremendous heart, and arresting originality. Sharp, wicked, and hot as sin.”
  
  
  — _New York Times_ bestselling author Marjorie M. Liu
  
  
  
  
  
  “This one pulled me in from the first page. Heather and Dante are among those
  rare characters readers so often look for and seldom find.”
  
  
  —Barb Hendee, bestselling coauthor of _Traitor to the Blood_
  
  
  
  
  
  “For far too long, Adrian Phoenix has been one of fantastic literature’s best
  kept secrets. Finally, she has fulfilled all the promise of her brilliant but
  infrequent short stories with _A Rush of Wings_. The novel is a fast-paced
  ride, its New Orleans setting appropriately rich and gothic, its characters
  both real and surprising. If you read only one debut novel this season, make
  it this one.”
