A Madness of Angels

Enter a London where rival sorcerers, hidden in plain sight, battle for the soul of the city in this urban fantasy series debut by an award-winning author.

“Neverwhere for the digital age. . . . One of the best books you’ll read this year.” —SFX

For Matthew Swift, today is not like any other day. It is the day on which he returns to life.

Two years after his untimely death, Matthew Swift finds himself breathing once again, lying in bed in his London home.

Except that it’s no longer his bed, or his home. And the last time this sorcerer was seen alive, an unknown assailant had gouged a hole so deep in his chest that his death was irrefutable . . . despite his body never being found.

He doesn’t have long to mull over his resurrection, though, or the changes that have been wrought upon him. His only concern now is vengeance. Vengeance upon his monstrous killer and vengeance upon the one who brought him back.

“Griffin’s lush prose and chatty dialogue, modeled after the best work of other modern British fantasy writers, create a wonderful ambience.” —Publishers Weekly

“Webb’s urban fantasy is authentically gritty, down to the detailed descriptions of restaurants and street corners. She writes with assurance and polish, and her grasp of modern mythology—the magic and the poetry inherent in contemporary life—is strong. A very promising start, and great things seem likely to follow.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Lots of writers can do London well, and lots of writers can do magic well. But London’s magic has seldom if ever been brought to the page so electrifyingly and so convincingly as it is here.” —Mike Carey
