But a storm is brewing, and the Haint of All Haints is awake. Unwilling to watch his home be destroyed, Perry will sacrifice everything to save it. Where the living and the undead live side by side, clouds of graffiti float down the zombie-patrolled streets, and musical spirits can appear out of thin air to drag the whole street into a party. A story by Alex Jennings author of The Ballad of Perilous Graves. Nine songs of power have escaped from the piano that maintains the city’s beat, and without them, Nola will fail. The Ballad of Perilous Graves constructs a magical version of New Orleans known as Nola that dances off the page. So when the city’s Great Magician starts appearing in odd places and essential songs are forgotten, Perry realizes trouble is afoot. In a world of everyday miracles, Perry might not have a talent for magic, but he does know Nola’s rhythm as intimately as his own heartbeat. To those from Away, Nola might seem strange. A place of sky trolleys and dead cabs, where haints dance the night away and Wise Women help keep the order. Music is magic in this vibrant and imaginative debut novel set in a fantastical verison of New Orleans: a battle for the city's soul brews between two young mages, a vengeful wraith, and one powerful song.
