Overview

This is a New York rotten to its magical core. This is the Secret City, where gargoyles roost on fire escapes, were-rats work the night shift at hex-diners, and sorcery and circuitry sing the same siren song. Navigating these garish canyons is Nova Swann, a renegade urban druid and veil-walker who is part ghost, part spell-slinger, and all attitude. Her life of cynical solitude shatters when a cryptic message lures her into an impossible heist: to breach the impenetrable guild-fortress of Babylon. What she finds within is no treasure, but an ancient, dreaming consciousness--a god in the wires known as the Sleeper. The encounter leaves her forever changed. Now, Nova is the unwilling key in a war for the soul of reality itself. A series of cosmic horrors, each more terrifying than the last, are awakening to reclaim the world. The Architect has decreed that chaos must be contained and consciousness itself is a flaw in the cosmic design. But it never accounted for Nova--the wild card in a deck stacked against humanity. To save everything, she must embrace the very chaos the universe wants to erase and prove that some equations can only be solved by breaking them.
