Description

“The city keeps dropping people into the past, big cats are prowling Toxteth, and riding the Albert Dock carousel is now considered a dangerous sport. If things don’t calm down soon, I’m going to start banging undead heads together.”

Lilith O’Reilly would find eternity far more peaceful if people would just, well, leave her in peace. Instead, she’s been declared (reluctant) queen of all she surveys, the spirit of the city is going through an existential crisis, and Time itself has gone rogue and decided the laws of physics are for losers. Oh, and her cat’s getting weirder by the day (which is saying something).

Can Lilith figure out how to put things right without making other things go wrong? Do immortal kings ever make good boyfriend material? Is it possible to survive a bombing raid when you haven’t even been born yet? And does anyone really understand quantum?

The fourth book in the bestselling Netherweird Chronicles series, CITY OF GHOSTS is a fast and funny urban fantasy about what really gives a city its soul.
