The Witch with No Name (Hollows Series #13)

by Kim Harrison

Overview

It’s Rachel Morgan’s ultimate adventure . . . and anything can happen in this next book in the New York Times bestselling Hollows series.

Rachel Morgan has come a long way from her early days as an inexperienced bounty hunter. She’s faced vampires and werewolves, banshees, witches, and soul-eating demons. She’s crossed worlds, channeled gods, and accepted her place as a day-walking demon. She’s lost friends and lovers and family, and an old enemy has unexpectedly become something much more.

But power demands responsibility, and world-changers must always pay a price. Rachel has known that this day would come—and now it is here.

To save Ivy’s soul and the rest of the living vampires, to keep the demonic ever after and our own world from destruction, Rachel Morgan will risk everything. . . .

About the Author

Kim Harrison is best known as the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Hollows series, but she has written more than urban fantasy and has published more than two dozen books, spanning the gamut from young adult, accelerated-science thriller, and several anthologies and has scripted two original graphic novels set in the Hollows universe. She has also published traditional fantasy under the name Dawn Cook. Kim is currently working on a new Hollows book between other, nonrelated, urban fantasy projects.

Editorial Reviews

Kim Harrison fans wanted The Hollows series to last forever, but this urban fantasy saga classic comes to a conclusion in this thundering, poignant finale. Born witch and bounty hunter Rachel Morgan has already fought more than her fair share of fierce battles and survived numerous surprise attacks, but now she must confront the ultimate challenge as she attempts to save Ivy Tamwood and, indeed, all living vampires from certain extinction. An enthusiastically received bestseller; now in mass-market paperback and NOOK Book.

In the 13th and final volume of Harrison's The Hollows series, Cincinnati demon Rachel Morgan fights fiercely for everyone's happy ending even if she can't entirely believe in her own. A few months after the events of The Undead Pool (2013), Rachel and Trent remain deeply infatuated with one another, their bliss tainted by Rachel's guilt that their association led to Trent's loss of standing with his people, the elves, and her conviction that their relationship can't last. Rachel's own connection to the elves and to elven magic has estranged her from the demons. Despite those obstacles, Rachel is determined to reconcile the two races, divided by millennia of enmity. Her efforts are further stymied by power-hungry elven cleric Landon, who's goading the undead vampire master Rynn Cormel to step up the search for his long-lost soul, no matter who or what the process harms. There are several moments when the reader will want to give Rachel a good shake and say, "Trent's not going to leave you, you idiot!" And Rachel's unwavering belief that everyone must see the light and get along seems implausible at best. But Rachel's neuroses have always been at the core of these books, along with her unshakable integrity and faith in the face of seemingly impossible obstacles, so why should this conclusion be any different? The resolution of Rachel's and her friends' woes might seem over-the-top idyllic, but Harrison's devoted fan base would expect no less. This is a glorious burst of high-pitched melodrama, epitomizing both the protagonist and her series.
