The Glass God

By Kate Griffin (Trade Paperback, 2013)


Sharon Li: apprentice shaman and community support officer for the magically inclined.

It wasn't the career Sharon had in mind, but she's getting used to running Magicals Anonymous and learning how to Be One With The City.

When the Midnight Mayor goes missing, leaving only a suspiciously innocent-looking umbrella behind him, Sharon finds herself promoted. Her first task: find the Midnight Mayor. The only clues she has are a city dryad's cryptic message of doom and several pairs of abandoned shoes ...

Suddenly, Sharon's job feels a whole lot harder.

Kate Griffin is the name under which Carnegie Medal-nominated author Catherine Webb writes fantasy novels for adults. An acclaimed author of young adult books under her own name, Catherine's amazing debut, Mirror Dreams, was written when she was only 14 years old, and garnered comparisons with Terry Pratchett and Philip Pullman. She read History at the London School of Economics, and studied at RADA. Find out more about the author at www.kategriffin.net.

  • "London's magic has seldom if ever been brought to life so electrifyingly and convincingly." (Mike Carey on A Madness of Angels).

  • "I'm fully convinced that Kate Griffin is a literary sorceress.  She weaves the most intricate spells with clever, artful, snarky, luxurious prose, characters who are both painfully human and gloriously badass, and settings so magical you forget they're real places.  When I get my hands on a new Kate Griffin book I put down everything else.  She's just that good." (N.K. Jemisin).

  • "Griffin's lush prose and chatty dialogue...create a wonderful ambiance." (Publishers Weekly on A Madness of Angels).

  • "Griffin's novel mixes fantasy and reality into a plot that brings to mind Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere." (RT Book Reviews on A Madness of Angels).
