There are millions of stories in the city - some magical, some tragic, others terror-filled or triumphant. Jonah Kirk's story is all of those things as he draws readers into his life in the city as a young boy, introducing his indomitable 'piano man' grandfather; his single mother, a beautiful, struggling singer; and the heroes, villains and everyday saints and sinners who make up the fabric of the metropolis in which they live - and who will change the course of Jonah's life forever.
