Synopsis
Don't look back. It wants you to look back. London's soul has gone missing: lost, kidnapped, murdered? When Sharon Li unexpectedly discovers she is a shaman, it is not a moment too soon, for the city's soul is lost; but while everyone expects Sharon to have all the answers, from the Midnight Mayor to her magically challenged self-help group, Magicals Anonymous, she does not have a clue where to start. The first Magicals Anonymous novel, set in the same fantastical London as the Matthew Swift novels, published by Orbit in September 2012.
