The stranger who walks into Nadia Reyes's Memphis restaurant isn't after money. He's after her magic.
Grayson Knox is one of twelve Marshals of Magic, enforcers of the hidden Accord that governs supernatural power. The job is simple. Find the people who break the rules and stop them before anyone gets hurt.
Aldous Vane breaks a lot of rules. He's an expelled European practitioner, a brilliant magical theorist whose career ended over illegal binding experiments meant to move supernatural abilities from one person to another.
Now he's in Memphis. And Nadia's rare probability magic makes her the perfect test subject.
As Vane's instruments start tracking her magical signature across the city, Knox races to stop an experiment that could damage Nadia's power for good, or rip it out of her entirely. But Vane has had years to refine his research. And he isn't the only one watching.
Magical surveillance. Anti-magic operatives. A rogue scientist willing to rewrite the laws of magic. Knox and Nadia will have to push their abilities further than they ever have.
Because some curses aren't meant to be broken. They're meant to be weaponized.
A fast urban fantasy thriller of magical law enforcement, stolen power, and Memphis after dark.
