AN ANGEL FALLS IN SUNDER CITY...

In a city that lost its magic, an angel falls in a downtown street. His wings are feathered, whole—undeniably magical—the man clearly flew, for all that he plummeted to his downfall moments after.

The mystery will set Fetch—on his quest to bring magic back to his beloved city—on a journey involving necromancers, genies, and shadowy secret societies. Fetch will search Sunder's wildest forests and dingiest dive bars for the answer, and when he finds it, nothing will ever be the same again.

A world recovers from losing its magic in this brilliantly-voiced contemporary fantasy series by Luke Arnold—perfect for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Rotherweird, or Terry Pratchett's Discworld.
