New York City, 1897 For Talia Stephens, being discovered by the Order of the Sacella means a one-way ticket to a war-zone grave.

Daniel is a disgraced mage with the power to taste lies and a burning desire to bring down the Order. When a serial killer begins harvesting mages' magic, Daniel offers Tal a deal: use her necromancy to help him hunt the murderer, and he'll keep her secrets safe. Joined by a shared secret and a dangerous attraction, they follow a trail of blood from boardrooms to bordellos. But uncovering the truth means unearthing corruption at the very top of the Order.
