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
