Description
HER MOTHER FOUND THE ARTIFACT. LIZ GOT THE ENEMIES.
A witty, fast-paced YA urban fantasy with hidden magic, found family, sharp banter, and a clean slow-burn romance.
Having a treasure hunter for a mother sounds exciting. Being hunted because of her? Less so.
Seventeen-year-old Liz Farnsworth has finally built something resembling a normal life after her father’s death. Then her mother unearths an ancient artefact, disappears halfway across the world, and leaves Liz running for her life.
Liz takes refuge in a mysterious bookshop in the heart of Oxford—and discovers a world her parents kept hidden. Elves, witches, and vampires are real, her family is deeply entangled in their secrets, and someone will stop at nothing to get Merlin’s artefact.
Her unlikely ally is Connor Saint James, a young warrior with a reputation for betrayal and murder. He warns Liz not to trust him. She does anyway.
Caught in a thousand-year-old conflict, Liz has more immediate concerns: avoiding capture, staying out of prison, and preferably not getting killed.
What to expect:
Found family • strong heroine • family secrets • fast-paced action • humour and sharp banter • elves, witches & vampires • slow-burn romance • no spice • magic hidden in Oxford
Don’t Kill the Demon – The Artifact is Book One of the complete Don’t Kill trilogy.
