LONDON’S SOUL IS MISSING.

When Sharon Li unexpectedly discovers she’s a shaman, it’s not a moment too soon: London’s soul is lost. Using her newfound oneness with the City, she sets about saving London from inevitable demise, but the problem is she has no clue where to start. Meanwhile, a mysterious gate has opened, and there are creatures loose that won’t wait for her to catch up before they go out hunting. Now Sharon and her motley crew of magical misfits must find a way to save the world. . .

  • "Kate Griffin flawlessly balances horror and humor to... pull off a funny yet frightening read about the supernatural-induced demise of London... both unique and addictive."
    SciFi Now
  • Praise for the Matthew Swift series:

    "London's magic has seldom if ever been brought to life so electrifyingly and convincingly." --- Mike Carey

    "I'm fully convinced that Kate Griffin is a literary sorceress. She weaves the most intricate spells with clever, artful, snarky, luxurious prose, characters who are both painfully human and gloriously badass, and settings so magical you forget they're real places. When I get my hands on a new Kate Griffin book I put down everything else. She's just that good." --- N.K. Jemisin

    "Griffin's novel mixes fantasy and reality into a plot that brings to mind Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere." --- RT Book Reviews

    "Griffin's lush prose and chatty dialogue...create a wonderful ambiance." --- Publishers Weekly

    "I love a lot of things about this book....the narration has meat and vitality, and it sings. Griffin's updating of magic is simply brilliant." --- Charles de Lint

    "You need to read this series. Hands down." --- BSCReview.com

    "Quite possibly the best urban fantasy novel I had ever read." --- Robwillreview.com
