Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Detective Maya Lin thought she had seen every brand of sociopath New York City could drag through an intake cell, but nothing in the NYPD patrol guide prepared her for Luke Morningside. Lounging in bespoke silk, nursing centuries-old scotch from a dead mobster's private cellar, and casually claiming to be the Lord of the Pit, he treats active crime scenes like cocktail parties and arrests like mild social inconveniences. Maya pegs him immediately as a trust-fund narcissist with high-end delusions and an internet connection. But when Fifth Avenue's traffic gridlock snaps into an impossible, synchronized mandala and a string of routine mob murders yields corpses with calcified bones and glowing azure ash, Maya is forced to confront a reality that defies municipal forensics: Manhattan's criminal underworld isn't just corrupt-it is conducting ancient, necrotic blood rites beneath the streets. And the exasperating, impeccably tailored entity in her holding tank might be the only consultant capable of reading the handwriting on the wall.Forced into an uneasy partnership under a ridiculous municipal retainer agreement, Maya finds herself dragged into a shadow war where high finance meets predatory sorcery. Real estate mogul Dan Callahan is quietly assembling a metaphysical conduit across the island, siphoning the collective anxiety and dread of eight million citizens through subway lines, pre-war bakeries, and luxury high-rises to power a dark ascension. To complicate matters, Maya's protocol-obsessed ex-fiancé, FBI Special Agent Michael Andrews, is hovering with federal submachine guns and bureaucratic subpoenas, determined to file Luke under national security threats and drag Maya into suburban safety. From rooftop snipers unexpectedly disarmed by party poppers to subway tunnels humming with celestial frost and demonic shadow swarms detonating into celebratory confetti, Maya and her impossible partner must wage an unhinged, high-stakes campaign to keep the city from falling into the abyss.Yet as the conspiracy escalates toward a catastrophic ritual atop a seventy-two-story Midtown tower, the most dangerous element in the five boroughs isn't Callahan' blood magic-it is the electric, desk-rattling attraction igniting between the mortal detective and the First Fallen. Luke has spent millennia masking an ancient, suffocating loneliness behind theatrical arrogance, while Maya has used procedural cynicism as armor against the world. But when the bullets fly and the city goes dark, Luke realizes he is willing to tear up the laws of heaven and earth-and set his own bespoke loafers ablaze-to keep Maya breathing. In a metropolis where greed is an ancient curse and salvation tastes like black coffee and street-corner carnitas, the Detective and the Devil must decide whether their chaotic alliance will save Manhattan or burn their carefully guarded worlds to the ground. …

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Deep on the industrial fringe of deep space, Nadir Station was supposed to harvest limitless power from the vacuum. Instead, Chief Engineer Valerie Mercer watches in horror as the station's primary intake manifold breaches, unleashing the 'violet bleed'-a reality-warping static that fractures the local laws of physics and devours human consciousness. Crew members are reduced to vacant shells, their memories stripped away and replaced by an alien, rhythmic clicking. When disgraced neuro-mathematician Aris Calder reveals that the Core Consortium's energy grid is actually a cosmic tether feeding predatory, multi-dimensional Gorgon leviathans, Val and her cynical welder Jaxen 'Gears' Cole realize the harrowing truth: humanity's ultimate power source is a harvesting machine designed to consume the fabric of existence.Fleeing aboard the battered ghost rig The Weaver's Debt, the surviving crew is hunted through the disintegrating void by Kaelen Vex and his Echo Vanguard-a nihilistic cult that worships the memory-erasing Static as spiritual ascension. Every thruster ignition and energy draw becomes a beacon that draws the cosmic leviathans closer, while the violet bleed relentlessly gnaws at the crew's minds, eroding their identities, pasts, and sanity. Desperate to retain their humanity, Val and Gears begin carving their names, schematics, and memories directly into their flesh with welding styluses, relying on the physical sting of scars as their only anchors in an unraveling universe.With the sky fracturing and the leviathan preparing to cross into realspace, Val and her crew must mount a desperate strike against the Opal Citadel-the gleaming epicenter of Consortium rule-to broadcast the forbidden Genesis Log and collapse the energy grid. But shutting down a dimensional tear of this magnitude requires a living conduit to withstand the catastrophic feedback of the Singularity Engine. Val must choose between saving humanity from cosmic extinction or preserving the last shreds of her own identity, preparing to weld shut the dimensional wound at the cost of everything she has ever known.…
