Forced into a reluctant partnership, the thief and the guardian must forge a new kind of magic to stop a ruthless industrialist who isn't just stealing artifacts-he's harvesting the soul of the city to fuel his own terrifying immortality. In a desperate race against time, they will have to break into the most secure building in the world, confront a legion of weaponized ghosts, and risk everything to perform a metaphysical heart transplant on a dying city.
