"[A] beautifully constructed magical heist in turn-of-the-century Seattle." - Mary Robinette Kowal

Seattle, 1929 - a bitterly divided city overflowing with wealth, violence, and magic.

A respected magus and city leader, intent on criminalising Seattle's most vulnerable magickers, hires a young woman as a lady's companion to curb his rebellious daughter's outrageous behaviour.

The widowed owner of a speakeasy encounters an opportunity to make her husband's murderer pay while she tries to keep her shapeshifter brother safe.

A notorious thief slips into the city to complete a delicate and dangerous job that will leave chaos in its wake.

One thing is for certain: comeuppance, eventually, waits for everyone.
