Magic and Loss

After nearly a year spent living in Golgotham—the supernatural ghetto of New York City—the metal artist Tate discovers a latent power within her that brings to life the metal figures that she builds. It's just another sign that she did the right thing sacrificing her trust fund to stay in Golgotham with the love of her life, the warlock prince Hexe, against her parents' wishes.

While gainfully employed as a blacksmith, Tate spends her free time working on a dragon installment for the Museum of Supernatural History, when she receives bad news: the charges against Golgotham's mob boss, who she and Hexe helped bring down, have been dropped. Now free to resume his reign of terror in Golgotham, Boss Marz exacts revenge on Hexe by smashing Hexe's Right Hand, the source of his magic and income.

As Hexe spirals into a bout of drinking and depression, Tate discovers that's she pregnant. Besides worrying about morning sickness, money, and maternity clothes, there's a chance that their baby—heir to the Kymeran throne—might usher in the dawn of a golden age, or spark a new unholy war.

You've got to hand it to the twists of fate . . .
