Stray Souls

'Don't look back. It wants you to look back.'

London's soul has gone missing. Lost Kidnapped Murdered Nobody knows - but when Sharon Li unexpectedly discovers she's a shaman, she is immediately called upon to use her newfound powers of oneness with the City to rescue it from a slow but inevitable demise.

The problem is, while everyone expects Sharon to have all the answers - from the Midnight Mayor to Sharon's magically-challenged self-help group - she doesn't have a clue where to start.

But with London's soul missing and the Gate open, there are creatures loose that won't wait for her to catch up before they go hunting.
