Si buscas romance, este no es tu tipo de libro. Piensa en Harry Dresden enamorado de Londres, de cada pequeño aspecto de la ciudad.

This is primarily the story of London. A London where magic is formed by the rote and ritual of everyday life, where some of the excess energy created by living can be used by those who can feel it. Matthew Swift is one of those sorcerers. Two years ago he disappeared, now he's back. Arriving ba...
