Portals of hellfire are sprouting across the city, leaving desiccated corpses in their wake. Someone is messing with infernal magics, and that sure sounds like a perfect job for a demon hunter.

Shame the only one available is a fresh university graduate with a trust fund and rose-tinted spectacles.

Quin Pelon wanted a career of adventure and romance, but when a rash of hellfire-induced corpses start showing up in the city of Marshmere, she finds out that adventure tends to come hand in hand with, you know, actual work. Recruited as a consultant by the Hex Street Peculiars -- Marshmere's answer to the things that go bump in the night -- Quin finds herself teaming up with Isla Brekke, one of the few cops that isn't a corrupt and lazy scumbag, to cross the boundary between her world and that of the Fae, all to answer one question:

What could drive a person to use such dangerous magic?

The first book in a new series by the mind behind the WARLOCKS OF WHITEHALL series, WINTER'S WAKE is a gripping introduction to a colourful world of fantasy that will appeal to fans of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and Jasper Fforde.

Content Warning: Contains some scenes of self-harm.
