It's 2020, and a magical cataclysm has shattered reality as we know it. Now a wizard's cabal is running the East Coast of the US, keeping a semblance of peace. Their most powerful agents, Edmund and Istvan - the former a nearly immortal 1940s-era mystery man, the latter, well, a ghost - have been assigned to hunt down an arms smuggling ring that could blow up Massachusetts. Turns out the mission's more complicated than it seemed. They discover a shadow war that's been waged since the world ended, and, even worse, they find out that their own friendship has always been more complicated than they thought. To get out of this alive, they'll need to get over their feelings, their memories, and the threat of a monstrous foe who's getting ready to commit mass murder...

About the Author

Paige Orwin was born in Utah, to her great surprise. At the age of nine she arranged to rectify the situation. She now lives in Washington state, next to a public ferry terminal and a great deal of road construction, and has never regretted the decision. She is the proud owner of a BA in English and Spanish from the University of Idaho, which thus far has not proven terrifically useful for job prospects but she knew the risks of a humanities degree going in. Paige began writing The Interminables when her favourite video game, City of Heroes, was shut down in late 2012.

Industry Reviews

"Vivid worldbuilding of a fascinating alternate Earth, peppered with touches of whimsy. This is a promising debut!" - Emmie Mears, author of the Ayala Storme series; "If you're looking for an entertaining piece of dystopian fiction, with magic and heroes and..er..a cat, then this will suit you very well indeed." - SF & F Reviews; "The Interminables is the type of book that Angry Robot was made for." - Strange Alliances; "It will reward you with a world of wonders and horrors, alongside a tale of deep and desperate friendship: a thief and a war, trying to save as many lives and they can." - SFX magazine; "An interesting and unique read." - Vampire Book Club; "A dark, depressive, but beautifully imagined urban fantasy/alternate universe. Perhaps one of the most interesting, intriguing, and rich books I've read this year." - Online Eccentric Librarian; "Magic in the modern world is always a fun trope." - The Verge, best SFF books to check out in July; "So fucking good." - The State of Blogendorff; "The Interminables by Paige Orwin is a unique, sometimes challenging read that really grabbed my attention." - Looking For a Good Book; "The Interminables is a type of science fiction/fantasy that I love. It doesn't dwell too much on the how's of the situation, but jumps head first to the what's, who's, and why's of the story." - The Help Desk
