9781506748986: The Magic Order Library Edition Volume 2

Synopsis

There's a reason you've never seen a ghost...it's called The Magic Order. Five families of wizards from all around the world, living among us as teachers and paramedics, cab drivers and checkout assistants. By day they hold down regular jobs. By night they secretly protect us from what's lurking under our beds. They've guarded mankind for a thousand years, but one by one they've been picked off by their enemies since Cordelia Moonstone used black magic and now, she's the last wizard standing as they make their final push. Superstar writer Mark Millar teams up with phenomenal artists Gigi Cavenago, Dike Ruan, and Matteo Buffagni to bring the final three volumes of the exciting adult fantasy story about five families of wizards across the world-America, Europe, Asia, UK, and Africa, who look after and protect us from the creatures lurking in the dark.
