War is coming to London. A daimyo of the Neon Court is dead and all
fingers point towards their ancient enemy -- The Tribe. And when
magicians go to war, everyone loses.
But Matthew Swift has his own concerns. He has been summoned abruptly,
body and soul, to a burning tower and to the dead body of Oda, warrior
of The Order and known associate of Swift. There's a hole in her heart
and the symbol of the Midnight Mayor drawn in her own blood. Except, she
is still walking and talking and has a nasty habit of saying 'we' when
she means 'I.'
Now, Swift faces the longest night of his life. Lady Neon herself is
coming to London and the Tribe is ready to fight. Strange things stalk
this night: a rumored 'chosen one, ' a monster that burns out the eyes
of its enemies, and a walking dead woman. Swift must stop a war, protect
his city, and save his friend -- if she'll stop trying to kill him long
enough for him to try.
