Charm of Magpies

K J. Charles

When apprentice magician Crispin Tredarloe returns to London, he finds his master dead—and the papers that hold dangerous secrets already sold. With his own magic implicated in what those documents can do, Crispin must race through the city’s shadowed underworld to recover what’s been taken before the wrong people learn the truth. His search leads him to Ned Hall, a waste paper dealer with a sharp eye and an even sharper reluctance to say no to Crispin’s desperate appeal. In this compact, fast-moving prequel set in KJ Charles’s Charm of Magpies world, romance and peril intertwine as themes of identity, secrecy, and the cost of power collide in a story of trust, attraction, and survival.
