In a city where every shadow hides a secret and every deal comes with a curse, Jade Blackthorn makes a living the only way she knows how—digging into other people's trouble. Half private investigator, half spell-slinger, she's the witch you call when your problems are too strange for the cops... and too dangerous to ignore.

When a missing-person case lands on her desk, Jade expects the usual: cheating lovers, hexed jewelry, maybe a possessed cat. What she finds instead is a trail of bodies, a brewing war between rival magical families, and a relic so powerful it could unravel the city's fragile supernatural truce.

The deeper she digs, the more dangerous it gets—because someone wants Jade out of the way, permanently. To survive, she'll need to juggle shapeshifter informants, a brooding vampire with debts of his own, and a police detective who doesn't believe in magic... until it's too late.

With her spells running low, her sarcasm running high, and the city's fate in the balance, Jade must decide: play it safe and walk away, or break every rule to stop a killer who's more than human.
