Description
An R-rated urban sci-fi/fantasy noir described by readers as Blade Runner meets The Wire meets Avatar: The Last Airbender.
SHUWEN LI—the NWPD's top cop. When a sniper takes a shot at the mayor, she becomes obsessed. But the case is a dead end—unless she's willing to cross the line and face horrors beyond the streets.
TY REESE—celebrity boxer turned crime lord. Running against the mayor. Showboating at the crime scene. A prime suspect who won't let anyone, or anything, stand in his way.
ZIJIAN SUN—ruthless queen of the Assassins Guild. She knows the truth but keeps it close, working on her own deadly agenda. The unfolding chaos is a weapon. She plans to use it.
ELI STRAUSS JR.—the man-child mayor. He wanted power, pleasure, and no consequences. A deal with an ancient fae wizard granted his wish—but the cost is coming due.
UZIEL SILVERMAN—infamous synth vigilante. He knows the mystery runs deeper than bullets and politics. He teams up with Shuwen to dig for the truth in a city built on lies.
INOLA MONTAG—Stasi Secret Agent 626. Her mission: clean up the mess, erase the evidence, and keep The State’s darkest secrets buried.
Blood will be spilled. Spells will be broken. When the last bullet is spent, who will be left standing?

My time with New World City flew by! I was hooked getting to know the diverse roster of characters and learning about the city's culture and history cleverly woven throughout their stories. The action scenes are kinetic and fun, written with the same crisp style that makes everything feel vivid. It's a dark world that feels just familiar enough to be recognizable, yet filled with quirks and philosophical ideas that kept my curiosity engaged until the end. If you enjoy immersive worldbuilding with compelling characters, New World City's worth your time.
