BLACK CITY ANGEL

Since he slew the dragon and unwittingly became the guardian of the Gate --- the passage between our world and Feirie --- Nick Medea, formerly St. George, has striven against tremendous odds to keep the darkness of either realm from crossing into the other. Despite an almost insurmountable task, Nick has succeeded in maintaining the balance, even with the dragon a part of him and ever seeking escape.

Yet, in Prohibition Chicago, where the Gate now stands fixed and unseen by mortal eyes at the edge of Lake Michigan, the former saint has discovered a steady flow of refugees from Feirie seeking escape from its mistress’s purge of those she believes not loyal to her ambitions. Someone has been enabling creatures of Feirie to secretly inhabit the city, risking both sides of the Gate. Worse, another power is making use of the chaos for its own goals, with Nick chosen to be the puppet that will bring it all to fruition.
