Description

Genre: Urban Fantasy

When Rick Hendry is contacted by a federal agent to help investigate a growing number of mysterious vanishings across Australia, he finds himself immersed in a world where normal is a very narrow view of reality. The two men are joined by a doctor, an archeologist, a journalist, and an Afflür Hunter.

They soon discover that in the bush, south of Sydney, among the beach goers, walkers and picnickers, a menace grows. The mysterious Bledray monsters are preparing for a Gathering; a feast of epic proportions. Only the Afflür Hunter and Guardians can stop them, but their strength is failing and humans are needed to help prevent a second holocaust.

A Single Light is an urban fantasy tale of ghoulish monsters and non-human protectors battling to save humanity amid the spectacular and rugged landscapes of the Royal National Park south of Sydney.

Advance Praise

"With A Single Light, Patricia Leslie melds city grit and ethereal myth, the twin demands of Urban Fantasy, to form a perfect unity. The plot is simple, a good and evil battle to save humanity from extinction. Yet there is nothing simple in its execution, Leslie demonstrating both a depth of knowledge of her subject and writerly finesse." - Isobel Blackthorn, author

"Leslie takes the general premise of good versus evil and creates a one of a kind novel. Vivid yet dark descriptions bring this world to life as a backdrop for a solid plot. There were some very surprising plot twists that kept me on my toes while also providing a very interesting and unique story. The cast of this novel was a whole lot of fun. The varied personalities each added to their plot in their own way. The gradual character development allowed the plot to progress quickly, while also providing a whole lot of information to the reader. Once again Leslie has created a unique novel that stands out from the norm while also fitting quite well into its genre. This was a good read that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others." - Jonel, via Goodreads

"A Single Light is a book that, to me, revamps the para-fiction genre a bit. We've had so many werewolf/vampire/blah blah books come out in the last 10+ years, that it's hard to find a book that will recapture the wonder do your first para-fiction book. A Single Light, however, aside from focusing on Ghouls and Guardians and Hunters, and the politics/massacres that go along with them, offers a taste of apocalyptic fiction, of magic, and it's set in the middle of the Australian bush." - Holly, via Goodreads
