Gods & Gangsters Book 1 :
The Blood Queen of Boston
IRISH MYTH • ORGANIZED CRIME • URBAN FANTASY
Maeve Gannon rules Boston’s underworld with ruthless intelligence—but control is no longer enough. When she sets her sights on an untouchable symbol of Ulster’s power, she ignites a conflict fueled by ancient rivalries, modern ambition, and the terrible price of becoming a legend.
Irish mythology collides with organized crime in a savage story of power, prophecy, and pride.
