This one's a switch on the standard sword and sorcery, even for the urban fantasy genre. Knight meets Dragon, but I'm not always entirely sure which one is supposed to be good and which evil. Neither are they.
There are a few loose ends, but I think they are left for a further book.

From back cover: The streets of Manhattan... where dragons walk by night---
Now the showdown has begun. On a planet called Earth and the city known as New York, knight and dragon confront each other in one final battle. As the deathly dance begins, the city of asphalt and steel slowly wakes to the magic in its midst.
Beneath the streets the tattered subway dwellers meet in secret convocation to worship the Dragon as God.
In Spanish Harlem a young boy is apprenticed to a great warrior.
On Fifth Avenue hardened cabbies tremble as a Nightmare parades the streets.
And in St. Patrick's Cathedral the Dragon takes control of the greatest city on Earth...
NEW YORK BY KNIGHT!
