Description: 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 grandfather, also a "piano man;" 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 live -- and who will change the course of Jonah's 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.

Musical prodigy Jonah Kirk, son of an exceptional singer and grandson of a formidable "piano man," explores his own gifts when he crosses a group of extremely dangerous people. The plot contains profanity, sexual references, and graphic violence.
