Synopsis
MAGIC HAS BEEN OUTLAWED FOR CENTURIES . . . . . . but when Cima’s life choices limit her gang’s avenues for making a profit, they’re forced to scavenge in a haunted corner of the city, where they unearth what they believe to be life-changing loot. Then it all comes apart: the hoard they’ve recovered is something more than material treasure, it’s potent magic from before the cataclysm that brought the old world to ruin. Will the plague of magic they’ve unleashed destroy her chosen family, her city, and the world? Or will the recovery of the items fenced by her gang lead Cima to become the guardian of a new age?
