Veronica

It was on a snowy February night in New York that Leo met the girl who would change his life. Veronica.
And so began an extraordinary journey into a world where nothing was quite as it appeared to be, where real time was supernaturally transformed, and events challenged all rational explanation.

Written with startling clarity, Veronica is an exquisite tale of magic and mysticism, mystery and romance, that is quite unlike anything you have ever read before.

A master of the dazzling, the mystical, the erotic, author Nicholas Christopher has created a work of spellbinding power and originality -- a tale of detection, romance, and magic that unfolds across a miraculously disjointed world at once recognizably familiar and completely unknown.

On a snowy night in February -- at the improbable corner in lower Manhattan where Waverly Place intersects itself -- a photographer named Leo meets Veronica, the beautiful, enigmatic daughter of an illusionist who has been swallowed up in time. Veronica is looking for an apprentice, a savior. And she is soon leading Leo into a dangerous labyrinth of delights that winds beneath and beyond a luminously transformed city of underground streams, dragonpoints, and mystically altered time. At the frozen apex of an extraordinary winter, Veronica has enticed Leo into a wonderful, terrible world...and away from his ordinary life forever.
