Experience the Wonders of Manhattan with Legendary Towers and Mythic Battles

Step into a New York City unlike any you've ever known. Manhattan: The Rising War (Studio Edition) by Sal Cosenza transforms the skyline into living titans, where skyscrapers breathe and legends stride through the streets. Inspired by Cosenza's acclaimed painting series, this edition fuses epic storytelling with a rare glimpse into the creative process, inviting readers to experience both the mythic narrative and the art that gave rise to it.

Inside, you'll discover the city reimagined: Lady Liberty reborn as a colossal tower of hope; the ancient deities Schist and Pegmatite embodying life and fury; and Manhattan itself revealed as a character-resilient, visionary, and endlessly evolving. Alongside the novel's sweeping battles of creation versus destruction, this Studio Edition unveils never-before-seen sketches, concept drawings, production notes, and five monumental paintings crafted over nearly two decades.

A true hybrid of literature and art, Manhattan: The Rising War (Studio Edition) is more than a book-it is an immersive exhibition. Bold, imaginative, and visually stunning, it offers readers both a gripping adventure and a front-row seat to the artistic journey behind it. For those who crave stories built as much in paint as in prose, this is Manhattan risen anew.
