"Book 3 in the Witch of Empire series

In the aftermath of the war, Iona ""Sully"" Sullivan has lost everything; her job, her friends, her fiancé and even her magic. But when an old friend shows up on her doorstep, offering her the chance to undo one of her long litany of mistakes, there is still enough of the old Sully left to get her on the first boat to Hong Kong. A stranger in a strange land, Sully must navigate alien customs, werebear chefs, the blossoming criminal underworld, religious extremists, Mongol agents, vampire separatists, and every other freak, maniac or cosmic leftover with an iota of power as they all compete for a chance at the most valuable prize in all the world; a little sailor doll named Eugene, and the last wish on earth."

G.D. Penman is the author of more books than you can shake a reasonably-sized stick at, including series like Witch of Empire, Savage Dominion, Deepest Dungeon and The Last King. Before finally realizing that the career advisor lied to them about making a living as an author, G.D. Penman worked as an editor, tabletop game designer, and literally every awful demeaning job that you can think of in-between. Nowadays they can mostly be found writing fantasy novels and smoking a pipe in the sunshine. They live in Dundee, Scotland with their partner, children, dog and cats. Just . . . so many cats.

Reviews for The Last Days of Hong Kong

"""There's a grungy punk-rock bite to it that tastes like subways and smoke and whiskey-filled nights."" -Cassandra Khaw, author of Hammers on Bone ""An addictive blend of magic and murder noir."" -Gareth L. Powell, BSFA award-winning author of Ack-Ack Macaque ""Penman writes with the wit and charm of a foul-mouthed Terry Pratchett. His Agent Sully is what Dirty Harry would be if he was a lesbian witch fighting demons alongside the cast of Yes, Minister. She can be my date to the Imperial Bureau of Investigation Ball anytime."" -Robyn Bennis, author of The Guns Above ""Vampires and demons. Monsters and magic. Forbidden love, in a mind-blowing adventure. 'Sully' Sullivan returns in a blaze of fury and might as the plucky, magic-wielding heroine who takes crap from no one, even when the odds are stacked infinitely against her. Good luck trying to put this one down; it'll leave your knuckles raw."" -Kyle Richardson, author of the Steambound Trilogy ""Agent Sully . . . is a kick ass heroine, a kind of adult Harry Potter meets Katniss Everdene and is the tour de force that drives this novel along . . . The writing is fast paced, imaginative with an underlying intelligence that gives credence to the infrastructure of the magical aspects of crime and policing."" -Gill Chedgey, NB Magazine (4 stars) ""A very entertaining and atmospheric alternative history fantasy novel . . . I would highly recommend The Wounded Ones to fans of the first novel in the series, and I would certainly recommend the author as a superbly creative fantasy writer."" -Readers' Favorites (5 stars) ""Penman has a knack for speculative fiction, especially involving magic, necromancy and, oddly enough, colonialism."" -TRL Reviews (4 stars)"
