Books like The Girl at Midnight by Melissa Grey
Beneath the streets of New York City lives the Avicen, an ancient race with feathered hair and magic flowing through their veins. They remain invisible to all but one human: Echo, a runaway pickpocket who survives by selling stolen treasures on the black market.
Echo is the only family the Avicen have ever known, and when a centuries‑old war threatens the borders of her hidden world, she decides it is time to act. Legend says the conflict can only end if Echo locates the firebird, a mythical entity whose power could shift the balance of the world.
Drawing on the keen instincts of a thief, Echo sets out to find the firebird, navigating the unseen layers of the city and the hidden forces that seek to keep the Avicen in secrecy.
