Novel & Cerita Gargoyle Brooklyn

"It's like those raves in the '90s—instead of in a warehouse, it's usually set up on a roof." "Why a roof?" Something niggled at Whitney. Roof … grotesque. She searched her memory of the one architecture class she'd taken in college. Grotesques were ornamental gargoyles. They didn't serve any purpose. They'd been put on old churches in Europe to scare the parishioners, while actual gargoyles were drains for rain water on the roof. Is that why they called it Grotesque? Because it was on the roof? "Why is Agostina on their guest list? She's been married for five years. I can't imagine she still goes to nightclubs."

The grounds were immaculate, green as far as the eye could see until they reached the front of the house where the garden bloomed. There was a gazebo off to the side in the back that could be barely seen as they pulled up to the gate. The sign outside had the name and number of the dealer, and he pulled his phone. Gramps was all but jumping in his seat, and he didn't wait for his grandson, just opened the passenger door and hopped out. "Yeah, I'm here at the place on Bakersridge? I need you to come out here and let me in." "The place on the hill?"

[The City of Gargoyles] The air in Prague was thick with the scent of coal smoke, ancient rain, and the metallic tang of secrets that had been buried for centuries. The city was a labyrinth of Gothic spires and narrow, cobblestone arteries that seemed to bleed shadows. It was a place where the gargoyles perched on the cathedral eaves looked more like guardians than decorations—watchers of a heritage that Ivy was only beginning to understand.

ISLA'S POV Midnight hits the city like a physical weight. We’re moving again. Not to another hotel with room service and high-thread-count sheets. Not to the Hamptons estate with its glass walls and ocean views. We are going to a place Gabriel calls "the last resort." An industrial loft in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

I chuckle and raise my glass of whisky up to him before taking a sip. Braddock scoffs under his breath, “amateur.” I go to retort when Dimitri’s voice howls in my head, “someone’s after Brooklyn, between the pack houses, I’m heading there now. I stand, as Abigail and Gabe both do and we head for the doors, “Abigail growls, “Brooks in trouble in the forest between our houses.”

Gargoyles lined the path on either side of them, soft growls emanated from the stone protectors. "I told him he should upgrade these things. Why can't we have a three headed hound like Hades and Persephone?" Zalakai asked openly. One of the Gargoyles shifted its face from stone and bared its teeth at Zalakai menacingly. "Oh, how scary." He said sarcastically before he snapped his fingers. The Gargoyle grumbled into dust where it stood.

he asked, but Ashton shrugged in confusion, unable to tell him the truth. “The cops traced you to Cypress Hills, East New York, Brooklyn. It’s a dangerous area where the infamous mafia don, Salvatore Gambino, has his hideout. The cops had to issue a nationwide arrest warrant for Bruce Kingsley, who abducted you. There was an offer of a reward to anyone who informed us about you. They broadcast it on all news channels and someone called to help us.” Ashton blinked with dread. He hadn’t expected them to unearth so much about Gambino and his past.

She turned the screen toward me. It was a breaking news push notification. A local crime blog, the kind that monitored police scanners. The timestamp was twelve minutes ago. BREAKING: Velgrave Gang weapons cache and financial routing center in Brooklyn reported raided. Sources indicate significant loss of assets. Authorization for guard removal allegedly traced to Velgrave's own internal seal.

His eyes were wide with threat, accompanied by a terrible growl. One word appeared in the minds of the audience when they saw the ugly creature. Gargoyle. Why was this demon beast in the gladiator arena? The nobles who owned the gargoyle had paid a good price to have the gladiator arena manager allowed his Gargoyle to fight in the arena with the strongest slaves. To be precise, the noble wanted to feed his Gargoyle legally. One by one, the fighters in the gladiator arena died or were eaten alive. There was nothing left of their corpses other than a few crushed bones. The gargoyle devoured everything. The last time the Gargoyles fought were five fighters, and they all ended up in the belly of
