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 every day 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. Welcome to The City, a place where enchantment and malice entwine, where courage and honour are found in the most unexpected corners, and the way forward lies buried deep inside the heart.
