There are millions of stories in the cityβsome magical, some tragic, others terror-filled or triumphant. Jonah Kirkβs story is all of those things as he draws readers into his life in the city as a young boy, introducing his indomitable grandfather, also a βpiano manβ; his single mother, a struggling singer; and the heroes, villains, and everyday saints and sinners who make up the fabric of the metropolis in which they liveβand who will change the course of Jonahβs life forever. Welcome to The City, a place of evergreen dreams where enchantment and malice entwine, where courage and honor are found in the most unexpected corners and the way forward lies buried deep inside the heart.
