Synopsis
War is coming to London. A daimyo of the Neon Court is dead and all fingers point towards their ancient enemy, the Tribe; and when magicians go to war, everyone loses. But Matthew Swift, resurrected sorcerer, host to the blue electric angels and reluctant Midnight Mayor, has his own concerns: a missing chosen one, and something far older and darker that waited in the dark at the city's founding, advancing in the background while he is stuck between feuding magical factions. The third Matthew Swift novel.
