Auckland Allies

2015

As bit players in the world of magic, Tara, Sparx, and their clairvoyant acquaintance Steampunk Sally are careful to stay clear of New Zealand's supernatural politics. So after Sally uses her powers to win a little money at blackjack, it's a nasty surprise when hired goons come after them. Hitting the streets, they try to find out who these Blokes in Black work for, why such a dangerous and powerful figure has his sights set on three magical nobodies—and how to protect themselves. They discover a plot to use Auckland's volcanoes in a massive demon-summoning ritual, which nobody else is equipped to stop. The question is: are they? Contemporary urban fantasy, with a touch of technothriller.

Unsafe Harbour

2016

Nazi sorcerers are plotting to steal the body of a tech billionaire, and the Allies must stop them, while outnumbered and, literally, outgunned. Damaged by earlier encounters, but more determined than ever, they must draw on the spirit of the city itself - and their growing mastery of the magic in Sir Isaac Newton's lost manuscript - to defend Auckland and each other. But how bulletproof is Tara's new super suit, exactly? And can Sparx get a warning to the billionaire in time?

Wolf Park

Technomagical ninjas versus Nazi werewolves in a desperate struggle for the soul of the city. Three times now, the Auckland Allies have barely managed to turn their modest magical powers and their hometown advantage into victory against the body-snatching sorcerers of the Ennead. But now their opponents have sent a Wolfmeister, who's converting innocent citizens into ravening beasts. With their leader injured and losing his grip, and their personal struggles threatening to drive them apart, can the team manage one more win against their most challenging foe so far?

Memorial Museum

2022

How far will the Allies go to defend their city? It's only a matter of time until the increasingly unhinged Ennead launch another attack. The Auckland Allies want to empower their associates to resist it, but that desire puts them into direct conflict with the misdirected zeal of the Guardians. A magic-infused Napoleonic sword may hold the key to harnessing the power of the city against their enemies... but only if they can get around the curse laid on it, and find a way to use its sinister power for good.
