Sharp, mainstream fantasy matches persuasive thrills of investigative noir in Magic for Liars, a fantasy debut by increasing star Sarah Gailey.

Ivy Gamble was born without magic and never wanted it.

Ivy Gamble is normally perfectly happy with her existence – or at least, she’s perfectly fine.

She doesn’t at all wish she was like Tabitha, her estranged, gifted twin sister.

Ivy Gamble is certainly a liar.

Whenever a gruesome murder is discovered on the Osthorne Academy of Young Mages, where her estranged twin sister teaches Theoretical Magic, reluctant detective Ivy Gamble is pulled in to the world of untold power and dangerous secrets. She will have to look for a murderer and reclaim her sister-without shedding herself.

“An unmissable debut.”-Adrienne Celt, author of Invitation to a Bonfire
