It was just one more deal. A favour for a friend. But the Magical Black Market is dangerous. The deal went south quickly, and now things are worse. My life will never be the same again. My name’s Atticus Argent, and I really don’t care about the war between the Magi factions. It’s not my fight. Never has been. I just want to do my thing, live my life, and have some fun. Just ask Greymalkin, my cat. But don’t scratch her belly, she’ll claw your face off. It was just one more deal. These dealers meet those buyers, they trade, and I skim a little off the top. Easy money. At least, that’s how it was supposed to go. But the dark Magi changed everything, and I barely survived. Instead, I was dragged before the Magi Council to answer for my “crimes”. They offered me an impossible choice. Now I’ve got an infuriating Council-appointed chaperone, and I have to investigate the very people I was dealing with. They will not like that one bit. But something’s going on—something big, and it’s my job to find out what. No one ever said life as a Magus was easy, but mine’s becoming downright deadly.

A Magus serial murderer stalks the streets. The death toll is rising, and the Council ask me to hunt him down. It’s time to hunt a killer! After years of working in the shadows, and avoiding the Council, now I find myself working for them, and kind of enjoying it. Strange how these things work out. The Council’s latest mission for me couldn’t be more different though. Someone killed a girl, moments after she had her Epiphany and became a Magus. And it’s not the first time it’s happened either. There’s a Magus Serial Killer out there, murdering these young, terrified people. But how do I find him and stop him? Looks like I’ll have to dive deep into the underbelly of Magi society to track him down before he kills again. Luckily, I have my Nun with her guns, my shadow cat familiar, and my sadistic Magical ring to help me. The murderer will never know what hit him!
