In the heart of Detroit—where the rhythms of Motown still echo and coffee brews strong—Nolan West runs Detroit Bold, a cozy café with a loyal following. But when a mysterious regular reveals something… impossible, Nolan’s quiet life is shaken.
Drawn into a hidden world that pulses just beneath the surface of the city, Nolan begins a journey that will test his beliefs, awaken unexpected gifts, and force him to confront truths he’s long ignored. Along the way, he forms unexpected bonds—including a romance that might just change everything.
Blending magic with real Detroit history, Motor City Magic is a debut novel about wonder, identity, and the power of discovering there’s more to the world—and yourself—than you ever imagined.
Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere, Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London, and contemporary fantasy with heart, Motor City Magic will transport you to a city where the coffee is strong, the jazz runs late, and magic is always just around the corner.
