About the Crescent City series

Sarah J. Maas's Crescent City is her most adult, contemporary-flavoured series — an urban fantasy where magic, technology and noir collide in the sprawling metropolis of Crescent City. Half-fae party girl Bryce Quinlan investigates the murder of her best friend, teaming with a fallen-angel enforcer, in a world of demons, gods and corporate-feudal politics.

The books are bigger, steamier and more modern than Maas's other series, blending murder mystery, found family and a slow-burn romance with her trademark emotional gut-punches. There's also a now-famous crossover that links it to her other worlds.

Read in order from "House of Earth and Blood." For the full impact of the crossover, having read ACOTAR helps, but Crescent City stands on its own.
