Let the magician stop. Larceny the book. Preserve tomorrow.
In contemporary New York, magic is almost nonexistent. The Mageus, the only surviving group of people with a magical affinity, are secretive and dwell in the shadows. The Brink, a black energy barrier that keeps Mageus on the island, traps all who venture into Manhattan. If they cross it, they risk losing their lives and frequently their authority.
Born to be a skilled thief, Esta was trained to steal magical artefacts from the evil Order that built the Brink. Esta can steal from the past and gather these relics before the Order even becomes aware that she is there because to her natural ability to bend time. And all of Esta's preparation has been for this one last task: returning to 1902 in order to pilfer an old book that holds the secrets of both the Order and the Brink before the Magician destroys it and condemns the Mageus to an unpromising future.
However, Old New York is a perilous place where vicious gangs and covert organisations govern, and where magic is omnipresent. Not even the Magician himself is what it appears. And Esta may have to betray everyone in the past in order to safeguard her future.
