Here’s the full synopsis for those who want it:īryce Quinlan had the perfect life-working hard all day and partying all night-until a demon murdered her closest friends, leaving her bereft, wounded, and alone.

Personally, I recommend readers go into this book blind, as the event described in the synopsis hits harder when you don’t see it coming. Maas launches her brand-new CRESCENT CITY series with House of Earth and Blood: the story of half-Fae and half-human Bryce Quinlan as she seeks revenge in a contemporary fantasy world of magic, danger, and searing romance.
