Wardens #1

It’s 1926 in prohibition-era Toronto and strange things are afoot in the working-class immigrant neighbourhood known as “The Ward!” Rachel Tussman, a 20-year-old Jewish seamstress, has her life turned upside down when tragedy befalls her younger sister, Goldie, and gives rise to The Schmata, an assemblage of possessed clothes out for bloody revenge! Drawn into a hidden world of Jewish magic, Rachel must unite with her sister, Goldie’s secret Chinese lover Sonny, and Black jazz trombonist Nick, to stop the Schmata, uncover the source of the fire, and survive a gang war that threatens to tear The Ward apart!
