A snarky, irreverent story of key magic in today’s world, the 1st solo stand-alone book in 2 decades from Steven Brust, the New York Situations bestselling writer of the Vlad Taltos series

Donovan was shot with a cop. For jaywalking, supposedly. In fact, for arguing having a cop while black. Four of the nine photos were lethal-or could have been, if their target had been anybody else. The Foundation picked him up, brought him back again, and educated him further. “Lethal” turns out to be a member of family about Good Men term when magic is certainly involved.

When Marci was fifteen, she levitated a paperweight and threw it at a guy she didn’t like. THE BUILDING BLOCKS scooped her up for schooling too.

“Hippie chick” Susan got well into her Foundation teaching before they told her about the magic, but she’s as powerful as Donovan and Marci now.

They are able to teleport themselves a large number of mls, conjure shields which will stop bullets, and read information from your remnants of spells cast by others times before.

Each of them work for the secretive Foundation . for least wage.

Which is alright, because the Base are the great guys. Aren’t they?
