And the Crowd Goes Wild

SUMMARY: There are two sides to every city, although The Other is unknown to most. New York City is home to glistening lights, endless buildings, and constant traffic. However, if you know where to look, it's also a city of kings, sorcerers, and curses. Hilma, a young and recently orphaned woman, moves from Sweden to Manhattan in an attempt to start fresh. She quickly finds herself pulled in this Other world, which is currently on the brink of civil war. Hilma's life quickly spirals out of control against a backdrop of oppressive royalty, magical spells, and devastating warfare, all because of one man: one whose face is unknown to the world, whose voice has the power to bewitched, and who many believe is the Spirit of Death himself.

Spanning across three decades, "And the Crowd Goes Wild" tells the story of the unlikely connection between Hilma and her mysterious companion, Death, as they delve into a strange spirit world.
