The Wind City - E-book - ePub

Wellington. The wind city. New Zealand's home of art and culture, but darker forces, forgotten forces, are starting to reappear. Aotearoa's displaced iwi atua - the patupaiarehe, taniwha, and ponaturi of legend - have decided to make Wellington their home, and while some have come looking for love, others have arrived in search of blood. A war is coming, and few can stand in their way. Saint (lovably fearless, temporarily destitute, currently unable to find a shirt) may be our only hope.
Tony, suddenly unemployed and potentially a taniwha herself, has little choice but to accept the role her bloodline dictates. And Hinewai, who fell with the rain? If she can't find her one true love, there's a good chance that none will live to see the morning. Wellington will never be the same again. "The book is urban fantasy of the highest order-fun, smart, surprising, textured, morally ambiguous-and definitely worth a read." - Book Riot"The Wind City is a startling debut novel for a nineteen year-old writer.
More to the point, this is a startling novel for a writer of any age, at any stage of their career: first book or tenth." - Wellingtonista"This is a confident, vivacious first novel. Wigmore is one to watch." - Booksellers NZ
