Description
Ever since she saved the spirit guardians of China by selling out to her worst enemy, Missy Masters -- a.k.a. the pulp hero Mr. Mystic -- has been laying low. But when knights serving the Conclave of Shadow steal secret technology from a museum exhibit on the Argent Aces, everyone looks to Mr. Mystic for help. If Missy doesn't want her masquerade blown, she'd better track down the thieves, and fast.
But stolen tech turns out to be the least of her problems. Recent events have upset the balance of power in the Shadow Realms, removing the barriers that once held the ravenous Voidlands in check. Their spread threatens destruction in the mortal realm as well... and only the Conclave stands ready to push them back.
In a world of shadow, telling friends from enemies is easier said than done. But if she wants to save San Francisco, Missy will have to decide who to trust. Including her own instincts, which tell her that something is stalking her with murder in mind...

Advance Praise
PRAISE FOR DRAGONS OF HEAVEN:
“A tough, witty young woman who inherited her
superhero grandfather’s powers barrels through a rollicking Big Trouble
in Little China-esque tale filled with magic, monsters and wisecracks. I
loved it.”
– Alex Bledsoe, author of The Hum and the Shiver
“All the fun of pulp adventure, filtered through a
twenty-first century lens. Helms isn’t content simply to play in the
genre; she questions it, complicates it, adds layers it didn’t have eighty
years ago. Missy’s journey to become Mr. Mystic isn’t the usual
heroic training montage — but it’s a hell of a lot of fun.”
– Marie Brennan, author of A Natural History of
Dragons
“The Dragons of Heaven combines
superheroes, romance, ancient mythological China, and does it right. The
world-building is stunning, and Missy’s challenges feel incredibly real as do
her reactions to amazing worlds she’s put in. In fighting against the
machinations of overly honorable yet incredibly nefarious ancient dragons, its
clear she’s the best chance humanity’s got.”
– Cassie Alexander, author of the Edie Spence series
