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…
