Magic Stars is a novel written by Ilona Andrews. The book is part of the Kate Daniels series, a urban fantasy series set in a post-apocalyptic world where magic and technology coexist, but often clash with each other. The main character, Kate Daniels, is a powerful mercenary who takes on supernatural threats in order to protect the city of Atlanta. In Magic Stars, Andrews introduces a new protagonist, Derek Gaunt, a former ranger who is now working as a bodyguard. Derek's life takes a turn when he is tasked with protecting Ascanio Feraras, the teenage shapeshifter from the Pack who has a knack for getting into trouble. As Derek and Ascanio investigate a series of mysterious deaths, they uncover a sinister plot that threatens to ignite a war between the shapeshifters and the Guild.
“As human beings, we have such a deep desire for that,” says Coupland, “We recognize the God-shaped hole in our hearts and long to see that satisfied.”
The Lion and the books that follow it touch on this longing we have for something other; an interaction that we long for; a connection to the Divine; a connection beyond the natural world.
