Magicians and Vampires

There’s a new refugee in Manhattan: a sick, dispirited young magic-user who has witnessed the destruction of everything he knows, and betrayal by everyone he loves. He is being pursued. He has failed his friends. By the time he reaches Good Hope Hospital, Adam Conroy has hit bottom.

The Vampire of Manhattan and his team are familiar with the bottom. Drinan, Jenna, Jimmy, Sniffen, Smith, and Tetras have all paid their dues.

With the aid of their remarkable friends and neighbors, the Liars’ Party is ready once again to clean up their island.
