Books like Veronica by Nicholas Christopher
On a snowy February night in Lower Manhattan, photographer Leo encounters the striking and aloof Veronica at the unlikely intersection of Waverly Place and Waverly Place. She leads him into a transformed city where illusion blurs with reality, underground streams snake beneath the streets, and mystical elements such as dragonpoints and Tibetan mysticism coexist. The city’s very notion of time is altered, hinting at the mystery of her father, famed magician Albin White, who vanished during a daring time‑travel act a decade earlier. White’s disappearance was sabotage by his apprentice Starwood, leaving him trapped in the past with no way to return. Until Veronica’s return, Leo’s discovery of her world intertwines with the long‑lost story of White’s fate.
