Echoes of the Asphalt

Ex-academic Corbin Pierce is the secret guardian of the city's soul, a world of ancient spirits living in the concrete jungle. When a cabal of magicians known as The Hand begins harvesting lives to awaken a slumbering god beneath the streets, Corbin must embrace the chaotic power he can barely control. With a sharp-witted apprentice who sees more than she should and a trash-spirit raccoon with an attitude, Corbin becomes the last line of defense. But to save the city, he might have to sacrifice his own soul to the asphalt.
