Vampires. Shifters. Fae. Mages. This ain’t the brand new York City you know .

Aspen is a Norm. A non-magic. A human being. And in the magically hidden boroughs of New York City, that’s a quick method to find yourself dead. Or even worse. So rather than magic, Aspen depends on her skills being a thief to stay alive.

She didn’t plan to get caught stealing from Lucien Dunadine, one of the strongest members over the Council of Mages.

She really didn’t plan on him blackmailing her into being his apprentice.

But with the Council demanding Lucien present a candidate to get a competition to become their newest Mage, neither one of these has much choice.

Right now something sinister is certainly going straight down in the magical boroughs. Supernaturals are winding up lifeless and mysteriously, impossibly, drained of magic. If Isak, Aspen’s handsome, aggravating challenger in your competition, doesn’t destroy her first, each of them just might have the ability to find out who’s behind the murders before an ancient bad is unleashed.

Welcome towards the boroughs. Allow magic begin.
