Overview

New York City, 1890. A city growing faster than its conscience, lit by gas, electricity, and ambition. Maggie survives by refusing belief. Elias Crow, a fallen street preacher, speaks truth without certainty. Thomas Hale, a policeman sworn to order, begins to question the cost of obedience. As their lives intersect, the city itself seems to respond-streets shifting, lights flickering, fog gathering with intention. What begins as tension becomes something stranger and more dangerous, as New York reveals itself not just as a setting, but a living force that tests courage, conscience, and survival. The Heart of the City is a dark, atmospheric novel blending historical realism with subtle magical elements, exploring faith without comfort, power without mercy, and the price of standing honestly in a world built to consume conviction.
