Half City
Description
This deluxe, first-edition trade paperback of Half City invites readers into Harker Academy for Deviant Defense, a darkly charming blend of urban fantasy, romance, and mystery. Kate Golden, USA Today bestselling author of The Sacred Stones trilogy, crafts a deluxe cover that promises enchantment with stenciled edges and interior art. Viv Abbot, a twenty-one-year-old demon hunter juggling a high-stakes city life, a thankless job, and a relationship she resents, discovers she is not alone in her outsider status. Her path crosses with Reid Graveheart, a reformed deviant who introduces a secret school for supernatural fighters. At Harker Academy she must learn to wield her craft, forge uneasy alliances, and confront a secret about her father’s death that others would kill to keep hidden. As strange events plague the campus, Viv must decide who to trust, navigate a perilous romance, and survive her first year with wit, courage, and grit.
