by Gaie Sebold


  Babylon Steel, owner of the Red Lantern brothel – and former avatar of the goddess of sex and war – has been offered a job. Two jobs, really: bodyguard to Enthemmerlee, a girl transformed into a figure of legend... and spy for the barely-acknowledged government of Scalentine. The very young Enthemmerlee embodies the hopes and fears of many on her home world of Incandress, and is a prime target for assassination.

  Babylon must somehow turn Enthemmerlee’s useless household guard into a disciplined fighting force, dodge Incandress’s bizarre and oppressive Moral Statutes, and unruffle the feathers of a very annoyed Scalentine diplomat. All of which would be hard enough, were she not already distracted by threats to both her livelihood and those dearest to her...

  ‘Reading Babylon Steel is like having a refreshing chat with that hot, tall, slightly intimidating girl that always looks like she has a lot of fun in her life.’

  Pornokitsch on Babylon Steel

  ‘Sebold has a flair for storytelling... Babylon Steel has a believable seaminess, while its tough lead has plenty of good reasons to be the way she is.’

  Captain Jim Wedderburn has looks, style and courage. He’s adored by women, respected by men and feared by his enemies. He’s the man to fi nd out who has twisted London into this strange new world.

  But in Dream London the city changes a little every night and the people change a little every day. The towers are growing taller, the parks have hidden themselves away and the streets form themselves into strange new patterns.

  There are people sailing in from new lands down the river, new criminals emerging in the East End and a path spiraling down to another world.

  Everyone is changing, no one is who they seem to be.

  ‘A real feat of the imagination, this is a really exceptional book, unlike anything I’ve ever read before.’
