A master of the dazzling, the mystical, the erotic, author Nicholas
Christopher has created a work of spellbinding power and
originality -- a tale of detection, romance, and magic that unfolds
across a miraculously disjointed world at once recognizably
familiar and completely unknown.
On a snowy night in February -- at the improbable corner in
lower Manhattan where Waverly Place intersects itself -- a
photographer named Leo meets Veronica, the beautiful, enigmatic
daughter of an illusionist who has been swallowed up in time.
Veronica is looking for an apprentice, a savior. And she is soon
leading Leo into a dangerous labyrinth of delights that winds
beneath and beyond a luminously transformed city of underground
streams, dragonpoints, and mystically altered time. At the frozen
apex of an extraordinary winter, Veronica has enticed Leo into a
wonderful, terrible world...and away from his ordinary life
forever.
