Fairy magic invades an African-American neighborhood of Los Angeles in this urban fantasy by the author of the science fiction classic ENDER'S GAME and the Alvin Maker historical fantasy series. Byron Williams arrives home to find his previously-not-pregnant wife Nadine rapidly giving birth to a baby who appears to be stillborn. A homeless man who is clearly gifted with powers beyond the ordinary takes the very much alive baby away, leaving the infant to be discovered by a neighbor boy. As the miraculous child--named Mack Street by his foster mother, a local nurse--grows up, it becomes clear that he has a dangerously strange and magical destiny. Unless Mack can discover the truth about his origin and purpose, he risks hurting everyone he loves.
