En Flagrante Magic

Whole Memphis neighborhoods are changing hands, and nobody can explain why they signed.

Marshal of Magic Grayson Knox enforces the Accord, the hidden legal system that governs supernatural power. Most violations are small. This one isn't.

Families who've lived in their homes for decades are signing them away. Not because anyone makes them, but because something makes it feel inevitable. Knox follows the paper trail to coercive probability magic, a slow, illegal influence that bends decisions over time until resisting feels impossible.

It isn't one rogue practitioner. It's a corporate-backed network using magic to grab real estate, track practitioners, and run whole city blocks from the shadows.

With help from a compromised practitioner trying to make things right and a covert observer working off the books, Knox starts taking the operation apart one location at a time. But the network has been running for years. It has surveillance in place. And it knows the moment someone starts pushing back.

As contracts tighten and enforcers move in, Knox has to take down a machine built to work quietly and permanently.

In a city where magic can rewrite probability, control doesn't look like force. It looks like choice.

A Grayson Knox urban fantasy crime thriller with supernatural law enforcement and a very modern kind of curse.
