From the Back Cover:

A master of the dazzling, the mystical, the erotic, author Nicholas Christopher has created a work of spellbinding power and originality -- a tale of detection, romance, and magic that unfolds across a miraculously disjointed world at once recognizably familiar and completely unknown.

On a snowy night in February -- at the improbable corner in lower Manhattan where Waverly Place intersects itself -- a photographer named Leo meets Veronica, the beautiful, enigmatic daughter of an illusionist who has been swallowed up in time. Veronica is looking for an apprentice, a savior. And she is soon leading Leo into a dangerous labyrinth of delights that winds beneath and beyond a luminously transformed city of underground streams, dragonpoints, and mystically altered time. At the frozen apex of an extraordinary winter, Veronica has enticed Leo into a wonderful, terrible world...and away from his ordinary life forever.
