New York Times bestselling YA author Darren Shan
makes his adult fiction debut with this first book in a new
series set in a darkly imagined world called 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 that 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 the extent of The Cardinal's
influence on his own life, he is faced with hard choices and
his own 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?
