Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair as she launches her groundbreaking new series with Terror at the Gates, a seductive feminist rage fantasy that reimagines the myth of Lilith in an urban landscape where sin, power, and desire collide.
She is the beginning and the end. She is peace and chaos. She is terror knocking at the gates.
Determined to escape her overbearing mother and weak father, Lilith Leviathan is building a life for herself far from the Leviathan court. She finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin, where she uses her magic to steal for a living. But Lilith's dream is to dance, not to steal, and her lifestyle has attracted the attention of the five governing families, as well as the Church, who expect women to be seen and not heard.
When Lilith comes into the possession of a beautiful blade that kills with a touch, she turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world and avenge those they've lost along the way.
A citizen of the Muscogee Nation and author of the acclaimed Hades x Persephone Saga, Scarlett brings her signature blend of mythology and contemporary sensibility to this wildly inventive take on biblical figures. With a master's degree in library science and a passion for Greek mythology and murder mysteries, she creates worlds that feel both ancient and urgently modern.
Join us for an evening celebrating the genre you didn't know you needed: feminist rage fantasy. Scarlett will discuss her approach to reimagining Lilith, the appeal of frenemies-to-lovers dynamics, and how to blend mafia family elements with biblical mythology. Perfect for fans of slow-burn tension and protagonists who refuse to be tamed.
