Sheer enormous fun! -Naomi Novik, author of the New York Times-bestselling Temeraire series
Magic is real, and hungry. It?ÇÖs trapped in ancient texts and artifacts, and only a few who discover it survive to fight back. Detective Sal Brooks is a survivor. She joins a Vatican-backed black-ops anti-magic squad?ÇöTeam Three of the Societas Librorum Occultorum?Çöand together they stand between humanity and the magical apocalypse. Some call them the Bookburners. They don?ÇÖt like the label.
