Golgotham Novels

She's about to discover what it means to go to the dark side in the second Golgotham fantasy from the award-winning author of the Blade Runner series. Metal artist Tate has made Golgotham-New York City's supernatural neighborhood-her home, and she couldn't be happier. Sure, there are some inconveniences living among Golgotham's resident leprechauns, shapeshifters, and merfolk, but her new wizard boyfriend Hexe makes up for them. Sadly, there are some problems she can't ignore . . . Golgotham has become the destination for hipster humans. Rising tensions between the locals and tourists explode in a street brawl that brings the PTU (Paranormal Threat Unit) and NYPD into the fray. The political fallout gives rise to opposing factions that seek to sow chaos, with Hexe's uncle leading the anti-human party-and wielding the powerful dark magic of the Left Hand path. As their relationship becomes a lightning rod, Tate is determined to stand her ground-even as her neighbors become the targets of witch-bashing and she herself is attacked by a demon. Desperate to stop an all-out war between humans and Golgothamites, Tate and Hexe uncover long-held secrets that put the entire city at the mercy of a festering hatred turned twisted obsession. There's no place for hate in Golgotham. At least not in Tate's backyard . . . Praise for the Golgotham trilogy "Inspires a sense of wonder akin to what you might have felt when first discovering J.

Every kind of magic has its price in the third and final Golgotham urban fantasy from the award-winning author of the Blade Runner series. After nearly a year spent living in Golgotham-the supernatural ghetto of New York City-the metal artist Tate discovers a latent power within her that brings to life the metal figures that she builds. It's just another sign that she did the right thing sacrificing her trust fund to stay in Golgotham with the love of her life, the warlock prince Hexe, against her parents' wishes. While gainfully employed as a blacksmith, Tate spends her free time working on a dragon installment for the Museum of Supernatural History, when she receives bad news: the charges against Golgotham's mob boss, who she and Hexe helped bring down, have been dropped. Now free to resume his reign of terror in Golgotham, Boss Marz exacts revenge on Hexe by smashing Hexe's Right Hand, the source of his magic and income. As Hexe spirals into a bout of drinking and depression, Tate discovers that's she pregnant. Besides worrying about morning sickness, money, and maternity clothes, there's a chance that their baby-heir to the Kymeran throne-might usher in the dawn of a golden age, or spark a new unholy war. You've got to hand it to the twists of fate . . . Praise for the Golgotham trilogy "Inspires a sense of wonder akin to what you might have felt when first discovering J. K.

The weirdest neighborhood in the Big Apple, "Golgotham . . . feels inhabited by real unreal people and places, and the whole book is just a joy to read" (Simon R. Green, New York Times–bestselling author) Imagine the Manhattan of a few centuries ago, except its streets teem with witches, fairy-folk, and monsters. That's Golgotham today, where human tourists are welcome to visit, but not linger. Outsiders tend to bring gentrification, and the neighborhood's supernatural residents like things just the way they are, and have always been. But Tate needs a fresh start-and a cheap apartment-where she can live and create her metal sculptures. And if that means living in Manhattan's otherworldly neighborhood, she doesn't care that her oh-so-posh family will be scandalized. Especially when she sees her gorgeous new landlord. Hexe is not your average Kymeran. Sure, he has the colorful hair and cat-like eyes, but unlike others of his kind, he's determined to make a living using only positive Right Hand magic. That means he'll remove curses but won't cast them. Although he'd make more money using both Left and Right Hands, he supplements his income renting out rooms in his ancestral home, even to humans. Tate is settling in nicely, until the night she's attacked by a were-cougar in the backyard. The shapeshifter turns out to be a scared and injured teenager who was kidnapped by the local crime syndicate to fight in the pits. As Tate and Hexe team up to help him, they're drawn into the darkest and most violent corners of Golgotham, where life is cheap and love might be the most powerful curse of all . . .
