Darren Shan, "New York Times "bestselling author of the Cirque du
Freak and Demonata series, makes his adult fiction debut with this
first book in a dark and twisted new series, The City.
PROCESSION OF THE DEAD
"What "had" I done before coming to the City? I couldn't remember.
It sounded crazy but my past was a blank. I could recall every step
since alighting from the train, but not a single one before. "
Young, quick-witted, and cocksure, Capac Raimi arrives in the City
determined to make his mark in a world of sweet, sinister sin. He
finds the City is a place of exotic dangers: a legendary assassin
with snakes tattooed on his face who moves like smoke, blind Incan
priests whom no one seems to see, a kingpin who plays with puppets,
and friends who mysteriously disappear as though they never
existed. Then Capac crosses paths with The Cardinal, and his life
changes forever.
The Cardinal is the City, and the City is The Cardinal. They are
joined at the soul. Nothing moves on the streets, or below them,
without The Cardinal's knowledge. His rule is absolute.
When Capac discovers how deeply The Cardinal has influenced his
life, he is faced with hard choices that conflict with his soaring
ambition. To find his way, Capac must know himself and what he is
capable of. But how can you trust yourself when you can't remember
your past?
