Everyone’s favourite resurrected sorceror, Matthew Swift, is back in Kate Griffin’s latest tale of urban magic, THE MINORITY COUNCIL [UK | US | ANZ] — out now in the UK and in the US on May 1. As usual, London is in dire need of his help.

Matthew Swift, the Midnight Mayor, is in charge. He hopes. And London is having some issues.

The new drug on the market is fairy dust and it turns humans into walking drug labs. Teenage vandals are being hunted by a mystical creature and ordinary criminals are dying by magical means.

If Swift is going to save London from a rising tide of blood, he will have to learn – and fast – what it really means to be Midnight Mayor.

Check out a sample of THE MINORITY COUNCIL!
