"An incredibly fun thrill-ride by a masterful storyteller." --Marie Lu, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Stars And Smoke

A twisty, magic-infused murder mystery perfect for fans of Knives Out and The Inheritance Games.

Being an apprentice to one of the world's most famous sorcerers has its challenges; Tabatha Zeng just didn't think they would include solving crime. But when her boss, the infamous fortuneteller Sorcerer Solomon, predicts his own brutal death--and worse, it comes true--Tabatha finds herself caught in the crosshairs.

The police have their sights set on her and Callum Solomon, her boss's youngest son. With suspicion swirling around them, the two decide to team up to find the real killer and clear their names.

But solving a murder isn't as easy as it seems, especially when the suspect list is mostly the rich, connected, and magical members of Sorcerer Solomon's family. And Tabatha can't quite escape the nagging voice in her head asking: can she really trust Callum Solomon?

Nothing is as it seems in this quick-witted and fantastical murder mystery.
