Book Three in the Grimnoir chronicles, and sequel to Hard
Magic and Spellbound.
Only a handful of people in the world know that mankind’s magic comes
from a living creature, and it is a refugee from another universe. The Power
showed up here in the 1850s because it was running from something. Now it is
1933, and the Power’s hiding place has been discovered by a killer. It is
a predator that eats magic and leaves destroyed worlds in its wake. Earth is
next. Former private eye, Jake Sullivan, knows the score. The problem is, hardly
anyone believes him. The world’s most capable Active, Faye Vierra, could
back him up, but she is hiding from the forces that think she is too dangerous
to let live. So Jake has put together a ragtag crew of airship pirates and
Grimnoir knights, and set out on a suicide mission to stop the predator before
it is too late!
