    About this ebook

    Will a night at the Opera be more than Elliot can handle...? Why does the Three Winds dojo charge for membership, despite almost criminal subsidies from its sponsoring families? And just what is Harlem's Deck? The plot thickens as the adventure continues...

    (...Back cover write up...)

    The city of Neppon drifts through the shallows, where the walls circling the mortal realm are thin. Here the daemons gather out of the surrounding night, drawn by its promise of candle flame warmth.

    As the election for the city's mayoral office approaches, one man stands head and shoulders above the other candidates. His reputation? A bastion for everything that is good and honest, in a world beset from all sides by horrors. But Jaret Roscan carries a secret. A secret that could bring ruin to his political career, and chaos to his beloved city.

    One person carries the key to his salvation. The question is, will they come forward in his hour of need?

    Harlem's Deck; a story in instalments. Keep your hand close to your chest...
