Wizard of the Pigeons

Blurb

Wizard of the Pigeons is a 1985 urban fantasy novel set in Seattle, Washington by Megan Lindholm, issued as a paperback original by Ace Books and reprinted in hardcover by Hypatia Press in 1994. Several UK editions have also been published. The book deals delicately with many serious topics such as homelessness, poverty, and mental illness, asking more questions than it answers.
The novel is often classified as modern Arthurian fantasy, with the title character identified with Merlin Ambrosius. This book is often cited as an example of good urban fantasy. Roger Zelazny called it "terrific".
