The man with the golden torc - Simon R. Green

You know what? It's all true. Everything that ever scared you, from conspiracy theories to monsters under the bed to ghosties & ghoulies & long-leggity beasties. The only reason they haven't taken over the world yet is because my family has always been there to stand in their way. We guard the door, keeping you safe from the big bad wolf, and you never even know our names. Of course, there's a price to be paid. By us, and by you.

The username's Bond. Shaman Bond. Licensed to kick supernatural arse.

And Bond - real name Eddie Drood - comes from one of the oldest families in England, a family that has been protecting Humanity from the forces of darkness for more centuries than anyone can even remember.

And Eddie Drood loved his job - until the day it all blew up in his face . . .

SECRET HISTORIES is a mix of James Bond and Blade, a fast-paced roller-coaster ride through the dark side.
