The “Secret City” cycle is urban fantasy: intrigue and secrets of the other side of Moscow; dedicated fans, fan clubs, screen adaptations, and tabletop games. One of the longest-running book series in science fiction and fantasy.
“An Angel of the Dead” is the author’s anniversary, the 30th novel. A direct continuation of “Dark Ceremonies.”
The battle wasn’t won — Liss, Jira, and Bri simply prevented the Consul from winning. The war for the Secret City wasn’t won either — but it has started, and losing in it is like death. Enemies are preparing for hard fights, but something nobody expected happened: the war brought back the fearsome Dark Ceremonies, and above the unfolding clash rose the one even an angel calls the Lady. The one whose power is comparable to the power of the very Sleeper. The one whose Word can change the universe. If it is spoken. Self-sacrifice, love, and ancient bones in the direct continuation of “Dark Ceremonies.”
