Synopsis "The Angel of the Crows (in English)"
This is not the story you think it is. These are not the charactersyou think they are. This is not the book you are expecting. London 1888. Angels inhabit every public building, and vampires and werewolves walk the streets with human beings in a well-regulated truce. A utopia, except for one thing: Angels can Fall, and that Fall is like a nuclear bomb in both the physical and metaphysical worlds. Dr J. H. Doyle returns to London having been wounded in Afghanistan by a Fallen, and finds himself lodging in Baker Street with the enigmatic angel Crow. But living with a rogue angel is not so easy; the pair find themselves drawn into the supernatural and criminal worlds of London, from a man kidnapped by a vampire nest to Jack the Ripper's horrific murders. Besides Doyle's nightmares, there is the lingering worry that Crow might Fall... A new Katherine Addison book is a cause for celebration. Break out the champagne, this one's a treat! ELLEN KLAGES, author of Passing Strange, winner of the British Fantasy Award and World Fantasy Award Each book Addison writes is a highly-polished and gorgeously set gem. The Angel of Crows is no exception. FRAN WILDE, Nebula-winning, Hugo and World Fantasy Nominated author of Updraft and The Fire Opal Mechanism remarkably compelling and fascinating io9, on The Goblin Emperor With its subtle, intricate, fascinating worldbuilding and a hero who succeeds through empathy and patience rather than brawn, The Goblin Emperor is absolutely unique among recent fantasy novels, and it delighted me from beginning to end. I wish I could read a dozen more books set in the Elflands. KATHERINE ARDEN, bestselling author of The Bear And The Nightingale, on The Goblin Emperor
