House of Earth and Blood
Crescent City #1
House of Earth and Blood (2020)
Bryce Quinlan has built a bright, fast, modern life in Crescent City, a place where magic, technology, and old hierarchies exist side by side. Then a brutal loss shatters that life and leaves her with grief that curdles into the need for answers. House of Earth and Blood begins there, with Bryce no longer moving through the city as a carefree party girl, but as someone forced to look much harder at the world around her and the dangers hidden beneath its surface.
As the first Crescent City novel, it blends urban fantasy, murder investigation, and romance on a much more modern canvas than Sarah J. Maas’s earlier fantasy series. Bryce is paired with Hunt Athalar, a fallen angel whose own history carries weight, and their search for the truth pulls them into the city’s underworld, its politics, and its buried power struggles. Readers can expect a story with grief, danger, banter, and rising emotional intensity, set in a world that feels both contemporary and mythic at once.
