The Nightshift Sorcerer
(2024)(The second book in the Tales of the Secret City series)
A novel by Steven Savile
In the sweltering summer of 1977, the Bronx is burning—but not all fires are created equal.
Ezra Levine, a bodega night clerk with a hidden talent for earth magic, prefers to keep his head down and his powers under wraps. But when an ancient golem crumbles before his eyes and an otherworldly inferno threatens to consume his beloved borough, Ezra is thrust into a shadowy world of supernatural politics and age-old conflicts.
Paired with a technomancer firefighter and guided by a mysterious santería priestess, Ezra must navigate a treacherous magical underworld hidden beneath the gritty streets of New York City. As he uncovers a conspiracy that links mystical arson to all-too-human greed, Ezra grapples with his growing powers and the moral gray areas that come with them.
With the Bronx as a tinderbox of racial tensions and urban decay, Ezra faces an impossible choice: destroy the fire elemental to save his home, or risk everything to redeem both the spirit and his troubled borough.
In this gritty urban fantasy noir, Steven Savile blends the mystical with the mundane, weaving real historical events with a tapestry of diverse magical traditions. The Nightshift Sorcerer ignites a thrilling new instalment in the Tales of the Secret City series, where every shadow hides a spell, every bodega might be a magical portal, and the true power lies in the heart of a community united against the forces of chaos.
Step into a world where magic lurks just beneath the surface of 1970s New York. The night is dark, the stakes are high, and in the Bronx, even the bodegas hold secrets that could save���or destroy—the city.
