C J Dalling writes character-driven urban fantasy set in the streets of Nottingham,
a city she knows well enough to know which alleys probably hide magic and which ones just smell iffy.
Inspired by authors like Jim Butcher and Benedict Jacka, she writes stories packed with flawed heroes,
sharp dialogue, and the kind of trouble that starts with “this is probably a bad idea” and deteriorates from there.
When she’s not writing, she’s usually reading, drinking too much tea, or trying to work alongside her dog.
A devoted but catastrophically ineffective office assistant whose only talents are demanding attention at the
worst possible moment and supervising snacks.

Benjamin Williams died for the first time in the fifteenth century.
That was when he made his deal with Hell.
Centuries later, he walks the streets of modern-day Nottingham as a Hunter for The Conclave, an uneasy alliance between angels and demons charged with keeping the balance between good and evil.
But something is changing.
Monsters are growing stronger. Old enemies are returning. And no one seems willing to explain why.
When a dangerous adversary escapes from Hell and begins feeding on innocent people, Ben is forced to work with a new police inspector who shares the same name and an unsettling resemblance to the wife he lost centuries ago.
As secrets begin to surface and the truth behind the rising darkness slowly unfolds, Ben finds himself caught between the orders of The Conclave, the loyalty of the few people he trusts, and a darkness within himself that refuses to stay buried.
