The City of Gods and Monsters Special Edition Hardcover: featuring all-new case laminate art, a map of Angelthene, interior art, and an exclusive bonus scene.Welcome to the city of Angelthene. We hope you survive.Loren Calla has only ever been ordinary. As a human struggling to survive in a city that caters to the needs of vampires, werewolves, witches, and other supernatural creatures, she always assumed her life would remain simple, predictable, and as safe as her world would allow.Until she barely escapes abduction at the hands of Darkslayers-supernatural bounty hunters that possess the Sight, a magical tracking ability that allows them to see a person's aura-and one of her friends is taken in her place. The abductors are demanding a ransom: Loren's life in exchange for her friend's safe return. Loren will do whatever it takes to get her friend back-even if it means accepting help from Darien Cassel, the leader of the Seven Devils, the most feared Darkslaying circle in the city.Darien specializes in tracking down demons and criminals that are better off dead than alive, so when he takes a job to track down Loren and finds out she is human-and couldn't hurt a fly if her life depended on it-he decides to protect her instead of turn her in for a reward. As much as Loren doesn't want to admit it, Darien is her best and only chance at finding her friend alive, if she can somehow manage to get along with him-and not fall head-over-heels in love with him in the process, which is far easier said than done.When more women start disappearing, and some of them slowly turn up dead, Loren and Darien's search for answers takes them deep into Angelthene's corrupt underbelly, where they discover a dark secret that threatens to unravel their world. And when tragedy strikes, Loren learns that love can make an ordinary person do extraordinary things.
Something wicked is coming...In the sequel to City of Gods and Monsters, Loren Calla and Darien Cassel have settled back into their old routines, grateful that the whirlwind of dangers they'd faced on Kalendae and the weeks leading up to it are now behind them-or so they think.But Loren soon finds herself caught in a new storm of trouble when the Terran Imperator blackmails her into working for him. There's only one problem: he expects her to use her magic, and she doesn't seem to have any of it left. To keep Darien and the other Devils safe, she agrees to everything the imperator asks of her. But the secrets she is forced to keep from Darien, and her involvement with the imperator's son, threaten to drive her away from Darien in ways she might never recover from...As Randal Slade's successor, Darien wants nothing to do with the throne his father once sat in, but the city of Angelthene has other plans. The Magical Protections Unit asks for his help in taking down the illegal arms trade his father once dabbled in, and to do that Darien must claim his place at the top of the tiers of Darkslayers-a crown the other circles are willing to kill to possess. As he spirals deeper into the secrets his father kept, he makes enemies of friends and friends of enemies-and finds himself buried so deep in Angelthene's underbelly that he is uncertain he'll ever get out of it. And if that wasn't enough, Darien fears he is going crazy when he starts to see creatures that only he can see...Return to Angelthene in City of Souls and Sinners, a gripping, action-packed tale that tackles themes of love and loss, light and darkness, and the battle between good and evil-and what happens when you can't tell which is which.

Kogda karera i otnoshenija rushatsja, kazhetsja, chto zhizn zakonchilas. No ne dlja Garriett Osborn. Posle razvoda, uvolnenija i tonny prochitannykh knig ona nakonets-to znakomitsja s soboj nastojaschej: v nej otkryvajutsja sposobnosti, o kotorykh ona ranshe ne podozrevala. Teper sad Garriett napominaet smertonosnye dzhungli, a ona znaet retsept lekarstva ot neobychnoj sypi, razbiraetsja v vidakh pleseni i mozhet ubit cheloveka tak, chtoby nikto nikogda ne smog eto dokazat...Nessa Dzhejms unasledovala ot babushki dar - slyshat mertvykh. Ona obnaruzhivaet telo devushki v zarosljakh u pljazha, i teper ej predstoit otyskat roditelej i ubijtsu zhertvy. Politsija bezdejstvuet, slovno prikryvaja kogo-to. Odnoj Nesse ne dobitsja spravedlivosti, i poetomu na pomosch ej prikhodit podruga - Dzho Levison, kotoraja v poryve gneva mozhet ladonju rasplavit serebrjanuju ruchku ili ostavit ozhog na tele obidchika. Kazhetsja, sama Vselennaja svela trekh zhenschin vmeste, chtoby ostanovit beznakazannye prestuplenija. Vot tolko oni ne podozrevajut, naskolko zhestok i opasen mir, gde pravjat bogatstvo i vsedozvolennost. Khvatit li u nikh smelosti zaschitit sebja i svoikh blizkikh? Dejstvitelno li oni gotovy na vsjo?
