{"product_id":"wake-up-9781734945201","title":"\"Wake up...\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eCity of Roses is a serialized epic very firmly set in Portland, Oregon--an urban fantasy mixing magical realism with gonzo noirish prose, where sinister high-rise riverfront condos are fought by a sprawling tea-house constructed from scrap lumber and old windows, and ancient sea-gods retire to close-in Southeast apartments with lovely views. It's the story of Jo Maguire, a highly strung, underemployed telemarketer, and what happens when she meets Ysabel, a princess of unspecified pedigree. Jo rather unexpectedly becomes Ysabel's guardian and caretaker, and now must make a place for herself among Ysabel's decidedly unusual family and friends--which involves rather more sword-play than most of us are used to. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCollecting chapters 1 - 11 of the critically acclaimed fantasy serial, Vol. 1, \"Wake up...\" does end on one heck of a cliffhanger--but don't worry.
