Now, with the strange murder of a young man, the fictional world of Nora Constantine starts to bleed into Newford. Juniper wanted to leave her role as a detective behind, but when she's accosted by the ghost of that man, everything changes. To solve the crime will require all the skills she learned training for Nora Constantine. And the effervescent Jilly, always up for a new adventure, is ready to come along for the ride."--Page 4 of cover

Jilly Coppercorn navigates her recovery from a troubled past with the support of a mentor and an anonymous benefactor. Surrounded by a newfound family, she faces a challenge when an old friend re-enters her life, luring her to a captivating city filled with potential. However, this adventure reveals itself to be a one-way journey, forcing Jilly to confront her unresolved issues in Newford. Blending playful and serious tones, this urban fantasy explores the complexities of life-altering decisions through Jilly's enduring character.

Welcome to Newford... Welcome to the music clubs, the waterfront, the alleyways where ancient myths and magic spill into the modern world. Come meet Jilly, painting wonders in the rough city streets; and Geordie, playing fiddle while he dreams of a ghost; and the Angel of Grasso Street gathering the fey and wild and the poor and the lost. Gemmins live in abandoned cars and skells traverse the tunnels below, while mermaids swim in the grey harbor waters and fill the cold night with their song. Like Mark Helprin's A Winter's Tale and John Crowley's Little, Big, Dreams Underfoot is a must-read book not only for fans of urban fantasy, but for all who seek magic in everyday life.
