Gutter Mage

Written by J.S. Kelley

Narrated by Tanis Parenteau

J.S. Kelley weaves epic fantasy and hardboiled noir in this fast-paced, twisting tale of magic, mystery, and a whole lot of unruly behavior.

In a kingdom where magic fuels everything from street lamps to horseless carriages, the mage guilds of Penador wield power equal to the king himself. So when Lord Edmund’s infant son is kidnapped by the ruthless Alath Guild, he turns to the one person who’s feared by even the most magically adept: Rosalind Featherstone, a.k.a. the Gutter Mage.

But as Roz delves into the circumstances behind the child’s disappearance, she uncovers an old enemy from her traumatic past and a long-brewing plot that could lead to the death of countless innocents, as well as the complete collapse of Penadorian society itself!

Reviews for Gutter Mage

[Darcia Helle · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Read Gutter Mage if you like a foul-mouthed, funny, badass female lead. For the record, I loved her.

This is fantasy, set in kingdoms run by royalty, and guilds of mages with a variety of magic.

It’s also perfectly executed noir fiction featuring a complex mystery, with a strong helping of action and adventure.

The cast of characters are all well developed, interesting, unique people.

I was totally hooked from beginning to end. This book deserves so much more attention than it’s currently receiving.

I highly recommend the audiobook. The narrator embodies the lead character’s personality. So well done!

Whatever expectations i had were blown out of the water. Although it was very gory and bloody and honey and all the crass things, my love for this grew with each moment i listened
