The Ballad of Perilous Graves Alex Jennings

In a fantastical version of New Orleans where music is magic, a battle for the citys soul brews between two young mages, a vengeful wraith, and one powerful song in this vibrant and imaginative debut. 

Nola is a city full of wonders. A place of sky trolleys and dead cabs, where haints dance the night away and Wise Women keep the order, and where songs walk, talk and keep the spirit of the city alive. To those from Far Away, Nola might seem strange. To failed magician, Perilous Graves, its simply home. Then the rhythm stutters. 
 
Nine songs of power have escaped from the magical piano that maintains the citys beat and without them, Nola will fail. Unexpectedly, Perry and his sister, Brendy, are tasked with saving the city. But a storm is brewing and the Haint of All Haints is awake. Even if they capture the songs, Nolas time might be coming to an end.
