About this book

Summary

Detective Sofia Vega carries a badge, a gun, and an ancient Fire Amulet. As a member of the Chicago PD and the secret magical order La Luna, she stands between her city and the supernatural threats hiding in its shadows. When firefighters are found incinerated by "cold fire"—burned from the inside out while their surroundings remain untouched—Sofia hunts a serial killer targeting those with latent magical gifts. The killer, Marcus Brennan, is harvesting power to fuel a ritual that echoes the catastrophe of 1871. He doesn't just want to burn the city; he wants to become a god of ash and flame. Partnered with Lieutenant Jack James, Sofia races against a deadline dictated by ley lines. But Brennan’s magic is evolving, and police procedure can’t stop him. To save the next victim, Sofia must cross the line between officer and mage, unleashing forbidden family magic that could save Chicago—or expose the magical world forever.
