In a world where magic is illegal, Cassel Sharpe gets the most deadly ability of all. With one contact, he can change any object-including a person-into something else entirely. And that makes him a wanted guy. The Feds are willing to forgive all his past offences if he’ll only leave his con musician family behind and go straight. But how come going straight feel so crooked?

For one thing, it means being on the contrary side of the law from Lila, the lady he loves. She’s the girl of the mob employer about Black Center: The Curse Employees, Book Three and though Cassel is usually confident she can’t ever love him back again, he can’t end obsessing over her. Which will be poor enough, even if her father wasn’t keeping Cassel’s mother prisoner until she results the priceless diamond she scammed off him years back. Too bad she can’t keep in mind where she place it.

The Feds say they want Cassel to get rid of a robust man who’s spinning dangerously uncontrollable. But if indeed they wish Cassel to make use of his unique talent to harm people, what separates the good guys through the bad ones? Without easy answers no one he can trust, love might be one of the most dangerous gamble of most.
