CITY OF BROKEN MAGIC

Released 11/20/18

Five hundred years ago, Magi created a weapon they couldn’t control. An infestation that ate magic—and anything else it came into contact with. Enemies and allies were equally filling.

Only an elite team of non-magical humans, known as Sweepers, can defuse and dispose of infestations before they spread. Most die before they finish training.

Laura, a new team member, has stayed alive longer than most. Now she’s the last—and only—Sweeper standing between the city and a massive infestation.

“Terrifying shadow monsters haunt a vividly rendered working-class present with the sins of generations past. A thrilling ride, with promise of deeper mysteries to come.”
                                  - Max Gladstone, Hugo Award Finalist
“This debut builds a fascinating setting that readers will want to keep coming back to.”

"City of Broken Magic explores what happens *after* the familiar heroes have gone, and the importance of those who remain to begin again."
-Fran Wilde, Hugo and Nebula Finalist
