About this audiobook

When three guests vanish from Thornfield Hall, Detective Sofia Vega knows it’s not a simple kidnapping. As a fire mage in the Chicago PD’s Arcane Investigations Unit, she sees the truth: the mansion is a machine built to bridge dimensions, and it’s waking up. Thornfield Hall is alive, shifting its corridors to trap victims. Its coordinator, Camila Reyes, is hunting for four more souls to complete a century-old ritual. If she succeeds during the upcoming Anniversary Gala, the barrier between worlds will shatter permanently. With reality fracturing around her, Sofia must partner with Detective Jack James to infiltrate the event. But fighting a building that defies physics requires more than a badge. Sofia must unleash her ancient fire magic to purify the corruption at the mansion's heart before midnight strikes. If she fails, the missing victims won't be the only ones lost—Chicago itself will fall into the void.
