Songs of the Dead
by Brandon Sanderson
When struggling musician Jack Solomon is killed, he awakens to a new reality in which light and music are used to create magic and where living eras of the past sprawl beneath modern London. Jack also soon discovers that many of those who reside in the stratums of London's past have grown angry with the present world, and that their anger is being channeled by a powerful society of light-and-music-based magic wielders who can cross the realms between life and death, between the present and the past. A past where the dead are sowing revolution against the living, and all of history is at stake. Welcome to the Strata Wars.

As the balmy August night unfolds, the girls scramble to find a human sacrifice to replace the moon before their world is plunged into chaos.
