Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Mandarin is torn between worlds, his love for an immortal Silver barely dampened by booze and loathing. The Change is to blame. When a youthful redhead turns up brutally slaughtered in Mandarin's bathtub, he is yanked headfirst into the churning underbelly of a warring city and its factionalized inhabitants. Someone is playing a murderous game of chess-but to what end? Working for a shadowy enforcement agency in the hunt for answers is only part of the equation for Mandarin-the rest is clear-eyed vengeance. High-tech weaponry may let the light in, but no answers are to be found in the murky realms of trolls, halflings and furies. In the calm after the chaos, Mandarin will find the answers, but at a great and unexpected cost.

"A powerful story. . . . The Silvers can live forever, yet immortality is a dangerous trap. 'The real world of the immortals remained hidden and secret, deeply removed from the knowledge of lesser beings.' Every page of the novel is a glimpse into fear, a step towards creatures one would not like to encounter or even think of, and strangely enough-a love song that rings true and holds everything together. The Girl Who Was Silver is an alloy of wisdom, tension and the impossibility to stop reading." -Zdravka Evtimova, author of He May Wear My Silence & 4x winner for best novel of Bulgaria
