Gods of New York is a two-book urban fantasy series by Nick S. Thomas, with both Swordmaster and Godslayer released in 2019. The series places supernatural warriors and god-tier beings in the streets of New York City, mixing fantasy combat with a contemporary backdrop.
The duology is a quick read that showcases Thomas’s ability to write action scenes outside of his usual military and sci-fi settings. Swordmaster sets up the world and its power dynamics, while Godslayer delivers the payoff. It is one of several fantasy series Thomas published in 2019 alongside Fallen Gods and The Last Empire.
