#1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas launches her new Crescent City series, now with a revised translation. In this first volume, House of Earth and Blood , we meet the story of half-Fae Bryce Quinlan, who seeks revenge in a contemporary fantasy world filled with magic, danger, and scorching romance.
Bryce Quinlan had the perfect life—working hard all day and partying late into the night—until a demon murders some of her best friends, leaving her devastated and changing her life forever. Unable to understand how she survived the beast's attack, the half-fae tries to cope with her loss, comforted by the knowledge that the person responsible for summoning the demon is behind bars. But when the crimes begin again two years later, with the same pattern, Bryce finds herself in the middle of an investigation that could help her avenge her friends' deaths.
Hunt Athalar is a notorious fallen angel, now enslaved by the archangels he once sought to overthrow. His brutal skills and incredible strength were honed to achieve a single goal: assassinate—no questions asked—his boss's enemies. But with a demon wreaking havoc in the city, he's offered an irresistible deal: help Bryce find the killer, and his freedom will be within his grasp.
As Bryce and Hunt delve deeper into the bowels of Crescent City, they uncover a dark power that threatens everything and everyone they love, and find in each other a burning passion—one that has the power to set them both free, if only they embrace it.
With unforgettable characters, fiery romance, and thrilling suspense at every turn of the page, House of Earth and Blood is the first volume in Crescent City , the new fantasy series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas. With over 1 million copies sold worldwide, Sarah is a phenomenon. Winner of three consecutive literary awards, the author has a legion of passionate fans.
