OUT NOW: Bad Gods by Gaie Sebold!

We’re completely delighted to say that Bad Gods by Gaie Sebold is out now!

This trope-busting, inclusive, sex-positive take on fantasy was originally published as Babylon Steel in 2011 to critical acclaim, and we’re so excited to bring it to a brand new audience to enjoy. Bad Gods is complete with a beautiful new cover from Discworld artist Stephen Player.

All Tastes! • All Species! • All Currencies!

You can find anything in Scalentine, the city of portals, but you won’t find a better brothel than the Red Lantern. And its proprietor, Babylon Steel (ex-mercenary, ex-priestess, ex… lots of things), means to keep it that way.

But a prurient cult are protesting in the streets, sex workers are disappearing, and Babylon has bills to pay. When the powerful Diplomatic Section hires her – off the books – to find a missing heiress, she has to take the job.

And then her past starts to catch up with her…

“Worth a hearty recommendation.” — Fantasy Book Review

“A pacy fantasy romp – idiosyncratic and entertaining.” — The Guardian

“Sebold has a flair for storytelling.” — SFX
