Summary
In 1835, with much of New York City's downtown destroyed by fire, Archie Prescott, who lost his wife and supposedly his daughter in the conflagration, runs afoul of one of P. T. Barnum's ex-sideshow workers, who uses an ancient text to resurrect a Mesoamerican god that plans to use the blood of Archie's still-living daughter to bring about the end of the world. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
The great fire of 1835 burned most of New York Cityâs wooden downtown and, like many others, Archie Prescott thinks heâs lost all thatâs dear to him. His home is a smoldering ruin and his wife is dead--and next to her body is a childâs corpse he assumes was his daughter. It seems as though itâs the end of everything...
But it is only the beginning. In the midst of ancient magic, murderous conspiracies, and a crafty Mesoamerican demon-god who is plotting the end of humanity, Archie finds himself with the power to save the worldâor drown it in sacrificial blood.
