Just Another Day in New York City.

Austin Hilary, like most New Yorkers, is good at hiding secrets. Until the day he stumbles across an ancient incantation that magically brings gargoyles to life - and might just solve the mystery of his parent’s disappearance.

Now Austin and his little sister Pilar must try to decipher clues hidden in long-forgotten, legendary landmarks - from the Cloud Club in the Chrysler Building to Track 61 in Grand Central Terminal.

But when Austin learns that the enemy is linked to his lost parents he faces a new dilemma: Save his parents or save his city? Austin realizes he will have to make an impossible choice - but first they must stay alive.
