Welcome to the city of Angelthene. We hope you survive... a thrilling new fantasy romance series perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas, Ilona Andrews, and Cassandra Clare.

About the Author

Kayla Edwards is the author of the House of Devils series - City of Gods and Monsters, City of Souls and Sinners, City of Lies and Legends, and City of Smoke and Brimstone. She is also the author of the upper-YA romantasy novel, Dreams of Ice and Iron. She started writing City of Gods and Monsters when she was in high school, so the characters and the world they live in are very close to her heart.
