Community non-profit administrator and not-very-good magician Charlie Cross is having a bad week.
Her big night of celebration turns into a magical medical emergency, pixies are breaking stuff in the Thirteenth Avenue Rec Center locker rooms, and her part-incubus boyfriend Anton is afraid he might hurt her with his spicy demon powers if they move too fast.
Magical drugs and Faerie intrigue are way out of her comfort zone.
But when dangerous fae magic returns to the streets of Manhattan and Charlie's friend and co-worker Oona gets caught in the cross-fire, Charlie will do whatever she can to put things right. Risk arrest? Sure. Talk to illegal potions dealers? She's on it.
Work with Oona's awful boyfriend, the Tenth Class wizard Blake?
Ugh, if she has to.
Because when it comes to her friends and her community, Charlie's discovering there's almost no danger she won't face. Even if--even when--the consequences could be deadly.
