Perfect for fans of steamy romantasy, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension, and found-family school sagas, this collection follows a lone demon hunter recruited into a world of secret legacies and campus rivalries.

In Half City, a lone demon hunter balancing two worlds is unexpectedly recruited into the elite, secretive Harker Academy, discovering a hidden legacy of hunters, monsters, and campus politics far deadlier than any pop quiz. The story pairs classic dark academia atmosphere with fast-paced urban fantasy plotting, introducing complex, morally gray characters and a found-family dynamic readers have praised as the series' emotional heart. Cursed City pushes the momentum higher, as secrets unravel, rivalries deepen, and the forbidden attraction at the center of the series intensifies. Reviewers have highlighted the wit-filled banter, edge-of-your-seat action, and a slow-burn romance that keeps pages turning late into the night. Together, these two books lay the groundwork for an addictive trilogy, leaving readers eager for the next chapter in the Harker Academy world. With immersive world-building, a richly drawn demon-hunter mythology, and relationships as complicated as they are compelling, this collection suits readers who love their fantasy dark, their academia dramatic, and their romance smoldering. Golden grounds the high-stakes supernatural danger in characters readers genuinely root for, balancing humor and heart throughout each installment so the emotional stakes always feel earned alongside the action. Fans of romantasy and dark academia fiction will find plenty to love across both books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes the first two books in Kate Golden's Harker Academy series: Half City and Cursed City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback set for new readers or fans completing their collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines dark academia atmosphere with urban fantasy action and slow-burn romance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures a found-family cast of complex, morally gray characters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift idea for birthdays, holidays, or stocking stuffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format, easy to pack for travel, school, or reading night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHalf City — Introduces a lone demon hunter recruited into the secretive Harker Academy, where hidden legacies and campus danger collide.\u003cbr\u003eCursed City — Raises the stakes as secrets unravel and the forbidden attraction at the series' heart intensifies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKate Golden is an author known for blending fast-paced fantasy with swoon-worthy, steamy romance.
