Description
Chicago is a powder keg in the height of Prohibition, but the real danger isn’t just from the police or rival mobs—it’s the creeping tide of dark magic. Sam Cunningham, a hexmaster forced into the service of gangster Mickey Sullivan, finds his precarious life shattered when a brutal assassin begins eliminating the city’s underground power players. Now, the crosshairs are firmly planted on his back.
Alistair Gatti, a cheetah-shifter struggling to protect his family’s speakeasy, is equally desperate. With his business on the verge of ruin and the city’s supernatural underworld descending into chaos, Alistair faces a grim reality: to ensure the survival of his kin, he must align with the very people threatening to tear his world apart.
The only key to their salvation is a forbidden, ancient hex salvaged from an Egyptian tomb. As Sam races to master the volatile craft, he discovers that the cost of freedom might be higher than he ever imagined. In a high-stakes war where bullets and spells collide, Sam and Alistair must navigate a treacherous landscape of shifting loyalties. If they fail to unravel the magic before the city runs red, they will be the next casualties of the shadows.
