In a world not unlike our own, Alys Kinnear, a young mage on the way to becoming a full-fledged wizard, leaves her training behind to stand on her own for the first time. Taking a job in London brings her more adventure than shed expected, even from the capital city of Albion.
When Alys finds herself implicated in a string of ghastly murders, her bonds with her new snow leopard familiars - Athena and Artemis - are tested, and the motives of Scotland Yards Detective Inspector Ben Donovan may not be as innocent as they appear.
As the pieces fall into place, everything shes experienced begins to feel interconnected, leading Alys inexorably to a confrontation with a mysterious sorceress who seems to know more about her than she knows about herself.
Josh was born and has lived his whole life in Western Massachusetts, and has a hard time imagining living anywhere else (except maybe Alaska...during the spring and summer, anyway). He spends his days disguised as a mild-mannered cross-platform IT specialist, and his nights using his degree in folklore and mythology to construct worlds for his characters to inhabit. His greatest blessing is being allowed to live in the home owned by his feline overlords, Jake and Elwood...after all, they needed someone to provide their food, water and toys.
